Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
The plant will further expand SIG’s global production network
SIG, a leading systems and solutions provider for aseptic carton packaging working in partnership with the food and beverage sector, has announced that it will construct a new plant in Queretaro, Mexico to serve North American markets.
The plant will further expand SIG’s global production network and will enable the company to build on its strong track record of growth in North America.
Through its existing sales and service presence, SIG has been able to forge strong relationships with major dairies in Mexico, a large and growing milk market. In the USA, SIG has a well established co-manufacturing customer base and is ideally placed to serve innovative and expanding new categories.
Switzerland based SIG will invest around €40 million in the new plant over the period 2021-2023. The investment will cover state-of-the art production capacity for the printing, cutting and finishing of carton packs.
The plant is expected to open in the first quarter of 2023 and will create around 200 jobs. It will have a highly flexible layout with a focus on ergonomics and the environment. Land and buildings will be financed through a long-term lease with an NPV of approximately €20 million.
