MOSCOW (MRC) -- The internationally operating plastic packaging specialist GIZEH is establishing a production unit overseas. According to the company's press release, from its new Canadian works in Brantford, Ontario, the company will supply its customers in North America and continue to expand its business there. The unit is due to start production later this year.
“A branch of our own in North America is a logical step for GIZEH,” says GIZEH CEO Ralf Jung. GIZEH has been steadily growing for years and, since 2011, has supplied an increasing number of customers in Canada and the USA. “With a local presence, we want to be closer to our customers and, in the medium term, become a major player in the North American market.”
The new company is called “GIZEH Packaging NA Inc.” and will initially offer the technologies deep drawing, injection molding and labeling. The first contracts with customers have already been signed. Later this year, the first plastic packaging will roll off the belt and be labeled. “North America is an extremely interesting market, particularly for our technologically advanced packaging and decoration solutions for milk and dairy products,” says Jung. Installation of the first sleeve system is planned for the beginning of 2014.
The decisive factor for the new branch was its strategically favorable location. Brantford is located south of Toronto in the heart of the Canadian foodstuffs industry.
