SÜDPACK is realigning its operations in the US market. As part of this effort, the company has sold its production facility in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, to its long-time industry partner PPC Flex. The sale is accompanied by a comprehensive strategic partnership designed to drive joint growth in the US market, with a particular focus on the meat and cheese segments.
With approximately 1,600 employees, PPC Flex ranks among the leading con-verters in North America and boasts excellent market access along with a broad technological footprint. The SÜDPACK facility north of Chicago fits ideally into PPC Flex’s existing site strategy. For SÜDPACK, ensuring a secure and reliable future for the employees at the Oak Creek site was a top priority throughout the process.
This new partnership brings together SÜDPACK’s technological expertise and PPC Flex’s strong market position. The two companies plan to work closely together in future, delivering even more targeted, innovative, and high-performance packaging solutions to customers across the United States.
Through this move, SÜDPACK is reinforcing its position in the US market while establishing a solid foundation for sustainable, long-term growth in the region.
