Smurfit Kappa to invest $33m in Brazilian production site

European packaging company Smurfit Kappa plans to invest $33 million in the expansion of its Fortaleza, Brazil, production facility. The investment will expand the site's capacity, in order to meet growing demand for innovative and sustainable packaging. The project, which will include the installation of a new corrugator, will significantly extend the plant’s shelf-ready packaging capabilities for customers in a variety of market sectors, including fresh fruit and pharmaceuticals. Several high-end printers will also be installed in order to provide a high level of precision and quality. "Today’s announcement will ensure Smurfit Kappa can support our customers to gain even more share in their markets. The combination of an innovation centre and state-of-the-art technology will provide greater opportunities to collaborate with customers to deliver innovative, inspiring and sustainable solutions," said Manuel Alcalá, CEO of Smurfit Kappa Brazil.
