By the end of 2012, Sig Combibloc South America has recorded growth of more than 60% compared to the previous year’s performance. As a consequence, work has already begun on the second stage of the plant expansion, earlier than planned.
An investment of more than €36m is set to allow the installation of an extrusion line that will make it possible to laminate unprocessed cardboard for the aseptic carton packs from Sig Combibloc on-site.
The project in Paraná has been planned and implemented in several expansion stages. With the completion of the first project phase, the packaging plant was able to be opened and put into operation in mid-2011 after a construction period of just 12 months.
With the new investment and the implementation of the second phase of construction, an extrusion line is now being installed which will laminate the unprocessed cardboard for the carton packs on-site in Campo Largo.
