Siegwerk is advancing its long-term growth strategy “Formula 2030” with a significantly increased investment program. 

In 2025, the company more than doubled its usual annual investment volume to expand its global presence, enhance technical capabilities and optimize processes through automation and digitalization. 

Over the next five years, Siegwerk plans to invest over 300 million Euros in organic growth and operational efficiency, supported by targeted M&A activities, to strengthen its competitiveness and create greater value for customers.

“Every investment we make is guided by a clear objective: helping our customers and partners excel,” said Nicolas Wiedmann, CEO at Siegwerk. “Whether we expand capacity, automate production, strengthen technical expertise or invest in digitalization, we aim to deliver greater speed, higher quality, reliable supply, improved efficiency and stronger local support.”

2025 Successes

In 2025, Siegwerk acquired Allinova, a specialist in functional coatings. The acquisition strengthened Siegwerk’s coatings business and expanded its expertise in water-based dispersions, enhancing the company’s ability to support customers with innovative solutions for evolving market and sustainability requirements. Siegwerk is also building new capacities in India to support the growth of Allinova-developed functional coatings in Asia.

Siegwerk continued to strengthen its regional footprint to provide closer customer support. The opening of a new site in Dubai expanded the company’s presence in the Middle East, while the acquisition of additional land in Indonesia paved the way for future capacity expansion. 

The company also broke ground for the reconstruction and expansion of Siegwerk’s production site in Bhiwadi, India. Once completed, the site will offer greater capacity, increased efficiency through automation and become the company’s largest Center of Excellence worldwide.

Siegwerk also modernized its global production and technology infrastructure in 2025. Investments included new inline white production facilities in Germany and the U.S., warehouse extensions and major global IT projects, including new platforms for customer relationship management (CRM) and product lifecycle management (PLM). 

Investment momentum continued into 2026 with the acquisition of Hi-Tech Inks in March, significantly strengthening the company’s position in India’s fast-growing flexible packaging segment. 

By combining manufacturing footprints and product portfolios, the two entities now command over 20% of the Indian flexible packaging inks market, becoming the largest player in the region. 

With its continued investment pipeline, Siegwerk is laying the foundation for long-term growth and reinforcing its position as a trusted partner to the global packaging industry.
