Südpack has adjusted its market strategy in the USA and, as part of this realignment, has sold its plant in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, to PPC Flex. The relocation is part of a comprehensive partnership with the North American packaging company, which aims at joint expansion in the US market, particularly in the meat and cheese packaging segment.

Collaboration with strong market presence in North America

With around 1,600 employees, PPC Flex is one of the leading processors of flexible packaging in North America. The plant north of Chicago fits in well strategically with the American manufacturer's existing network of locations. It was a key concern for Südpack to create reliable future prospects for the workforce in Oak Creek.

Südpack's strategic focus on technological expansion

The new partnership combines the technical expertise of the German film manufacturer with the market access and infrastructure of PPC Flex. The aim is to better serve the growing demand for high-performance packaging solutions in the USA. Both companies plan to work closely together to drive innovation in the field of food packaging.

Südpack lays the foundation for sustainable growth

The cooperation strengthens Südpack's position in the North American market and creates new development potential. The strategic realignment supports the goal of securing long-term growth in one of the most important international regions for packaging technology.
