Siegwerk Expands US and Canada Footprint with Targeted Investments
Siegwerk is expanding its footprint in the United States and Canada through targeted investments focused on increasing production capacity, enhancing operational efficiency and advancing sustainable infrastructure.
The investments underscore the growing strategic importance of the United States and Canada within Siegwerk’s global growth strategy.
As part of its FORMULA 2030 strategic agenda, Siegwerk has committed to significantly investing in the modernization and expansion of its global production network to strengthen competitiveness and create long-term value for customers.
“FORMULA 2030 is about translating our global strategic direction into concrete regional initiatives that create value for our customers and strengthen our business over the long term,” states Christopher van Laack, president, Americas, and Group executive member, Siegwerk. “By further expanding our regional production network and technology capabilities, we are creating an even more resilient supply base for our customers across the United States and Canada.”
The latest investments are focused on expanding production capabilities, increasing flexibility and improving operational resilience.
Investments in Iowa
At Siegwerk’s site in Des Moines, Iowa, several projects are underway to expand capacity and improve operational efficiency. These include the modernization of milling and blending equipment and the implementation of new white and color production systems.
The new systems will enable highly efficient inline batch production, increasing operational flexibility and strengthening Siegwerk’s ability to meet evolving customer needs and support future growth.
Siegwerk also recently broke ground on a new warehouse building in early June. The expansion will provide additional storage capacity, primarily supporting the site’s solvent-based operations and the growing demand for flexible packaging solutions.
The new facility will also provide flexibility for future expansion as market needs evolve.
“With these investments, we strengthen our ability to deliver the quality, reliability, and responsiveness our customers expect,” says Jarred Carter, BU Head Flexible Packaging CUSA, Siegwerk. “At the same time, the new assets not only increase our operational flexibility today, but also provide the capacity needed to support our customers’ growth in the future.”
Technology Expansion in North Carolina
At its Morganton, North Carolina, site, Siegwerk is expanding its technology capabilities by adding water-based and UV-based inkjet production, scheduled for completion in 2026.
The investment will broaden the company’s capabilities in one of the packaging industry’s fastest-growing technologies.
Siegwerk is also investing in new milling and blending equipment to further strengthen its Narrow Web portfolio in the region.
The Morganton site will install solar panels funded through Siegwerk’s dedicated Green Fund. The panels will enable the facility to partially power its operations with renewable energy and contribute clean electricity to the local grid.
Further facility and IT upgrades are also planned to enhance operational efficiency and customer support.
