With an eye on growth in Eastern Europe, Smurfit Kappa invested more than €25 million at its Pruszkow ‘mega-plant’ located in central Poland, which will double the plant’s output.
This will result in the creation of 25 new jobs, bringing employment to more than 230 at the location. Construction is due to begin in July and be completed during 2022.
Upon completion, the newly expanded facility will be 37,500 square meters, making it Smurfit Kappa’s largest facility in Poland and one of the largest facilities for Smurfit Kappa in Europe.
“This significant investment marks Smurfit Kappa’s strategic commitment to its presence in Poland and in Eastern Europe,” said Saverio Mayer, CEO for Smurfit Kappa Europe. “The Pruszkow plant is integral to our business, and this expansion will enable us to further meet the evolving needs of new and existing customers in key sectors, efficiently and sustainably.”
