The initial phase of the expansion will add 30,000 tons of new capacity to the North American packaging market and is projected to create more than 100 full-time jobs in the region whilst contributing to the US economy and economic growth. This strategic move will also generate significant benefits across the local value chain, with further expansion planned. In Q2 2028, a second phase will increase production capacity by an additional 30,000 tons, raising the total capacity to 60,000 tons.
Evertis has been serving the United States market since 2000, initially supplying from its plants in Mexico and Brazil. The decision to expand with a new production plant in the US reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening its local presence and ensuring more reliable, efficient supply to meet the growing demand in North America.
“This is truly another important milestone on our journey to deliver our packaging to the doorsteps of our customers,” said Thomaz Gruber, Executive VP Operations of Evertis USA. “The asset addition to our global Group production footprint will enable us to offer shorter lead times, reduce supply chain risks, and better align with the increasing market demand for packaging solutions that prioritize circularity and environmental responsibility.”
