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.
