SÜDPACK is realigning its activities in the US market and has sold its production plant in Oak Creek (WI) to its long-standing industry partner PPC Flex. The sale is accompanied by a comprehensive strategic partnership aimed at jointly expanding the US market, particularly in the meat and cheese segment.
With around 1,600 employees, PPC Flex is one of the leading converters in North America and has excellent market access and a broad technological footprint. The SÜDPACK plant north of Chicago fits perfectly into PPC Flex’s existing location strategy. It was also very important to SÜDPACK that the employees at the Oak Creek (WI) site were given reliable prospects.
Combining technological expertise with strong market presence
Through the new partnership, SÜDPACK combines its technological expertise with the strong market presence of PPC Flex. Both companies intend to work closely together in the future to serve customers in the US, even more specifically, with innovative and high-performance packaging solutions.
With this step, SÜDPACK is strengthening its position in the US market and at the same time laying the foundation for sustainable growth in this region.
