Smurfit Kappa Invests $12m In Mexican Plant
Packaging firm Smurfit Kappa plans to invest $12 million (€11.1 million) in its Mexican plant at Tijuana.
The company has operated in Mexico since 1957 and has had a presence in the northern Baja California region for over 10 years.
The group has been increasing its production capacity in the country, and has invested over $350 million (€323 million) in its operations in the past five years.
The investment in its Tijuana plant will see the addition of new machinery and process upgrades, which it says will significantly increase both printing quality and efficiency.
‘Growing Market’
“Mexico is an important market for Smurfit Kappa. We have invested substantial resources both in paper machines and corrugated plants while increasing our network to support the country’s economy and our customers’ needs,” said Laurent Sellier, Smurfit Kappa CEO of the Americas.
“This important investment will lead us to increase capacity and productivity so we’re ready for the fast pace of our customers’ businesses. We will continue to invest as part of our firm commitment to Mexico and its growing market.”
