In order to increasing demand for sustainable, recyclable packaging solutions<\/strong> capacity expansions are at the centre of the investments. For example, the N\u00f6rdlingen site, which is receiving the lion's share of the investment sum of more than 75 million euros, will be expanded by, among other things expanded with an additional, state-of-the-art corrugator and a fully automated high-bay warehouse<\/strong>.<\/p>

The Arenshausen and Arnstadt sites are also being significantly modernised with investments of EUR 34 million and EUR 9 million respectively, and numerous processing machines of the latest generation<\/strong> supplemented.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

The expansion and further development of the three locations goes hand in hand with the creation of numerous new jobs. In particular We are looking for new employees in the areas of production and logistics with immediate effect.<\/strong> A total of 100 new employees will be needed at the three locations by the time the construction work is completed and all new machines and systems are commissioned.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201eThis extraordinary investment totalling almost 120 million euros will enable us to further expand our product and service portfolio of innovative display and packaging solutions for various target segments and continue to grow together with our customers. I am very pleased that the significant capacity expansions will enable us to continue our growth of recent years and continue to support our customers in achieving their business and sustainability goals in the future.\u201c<\/p>

DS Smith continuously evaluates how the highest possible efficiency can be achieved and a detailed analysis of the portfolio and the economic performance of all locations was again carried out as part of the investment activities. As part of this analysis, the decision was made to close the Berlin plant, which was no longer economically viable<\/strong>. The company is now working with employees and partners to ensure that the closure process runs as smoothly as possible. DS Smith<\/a> deeply regrets the impact on the employees at the Berlin plant, but is achieving a strengthening of the business and a more optimised, customer-focused performance as a result.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201eWith the planned investments in the expansion of production and logistics capacities and the associated increases in efficiency, we are not only further improving our delivery and quality performance, but are also also strengthen the future viability of our entire Germany & Switzerland region<\/strong>. In addition, the extensive modernisations and expansions in line with our sustainability strategy \u201aNow. And in the future.\u2018 significantly increase the energy efficiency of our sites and minimise our CO2-<\/sub>Footprint\u00a0<\/sub>improve<\/strong>. We are now looking forward to starting the extensive modernisation and expansion work at the three locations - and the first construction measures have already begun,\u201c concludes V\u00e4th.<\/p>
