DS Smith Announces €13 Million Investment in Austrian Plants

The investment is part of our Packaging’s ambitious growth strategy in East Europe, driving leadership in sustainable packaging solutions across the region and creating value for our customers and partners.

The first steps have already been taken by harmonising the business processes of both sites, including quality management and system standardiation. These initiatives are supported by investments in new machinery at both sites increasing quality, productivity as well as innovation capabilities.

Reinier Schlatmann, DS Smith Regional Managing Director East Europe: “Our investments in technology, automation, and process improvement, enable DS Smith to drive innovation in packaging solutions. With a strong focus on the transition towards a circular economy, we are reshaping the industry and supporting customer sustainability goals at the same time.

DS Smith’s commitment in this respect is supported by our development of corrugated packaging that offers alternatives for problematic plastics. The investments in Austria significantly strengthen our position in the market and make a long-term contribution to the environment and economy.”
