Südpack USA Inc.: A new player in the U.S. packaging market

Südpack USA Inc. is set to conquer the North American packaging market. The fully owned subsidiary of the German packaging specialist Südpack GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2012 and has increased its business activities ever since. With a strong focus on re-sealable packaging as well as deep drawing flexible and hard films for the food industry, Chicago is the ideal setting for further growth.

North America is the world's largest packaging market and of pivotal importance for Südpack. For more than ten years, the packaging company has been supplying customers through external partners. “This experience has shown that there is a high demand for our packaging solutions,” said Jörg Nückel, General Sales Manager of Südpack “Our U.S. headquarter in Chicago is located at the heart of the industrial meat production, and puts us as close to our customers as possible. We can now meet their needs even better.”

With around 1,000 employees and worldwide sales of over 440 million USD in 2012, the Südpack Packaging Group is a leading manufacturer of coextruded packaging films. The family-managed business was founded in 1964 and draws on almost 50 years of experience. The Südpack Group operates production facilities in three European states and distributes its products in 70 countries.

Comprehensive product portfolio
Südpack’s product portfolio ranges from multilayer hard and flexible films to flow wrap films, lid films, microwaveable convenience packaging solutions, prefabricated bags and technical film solutions. The company also prints its films in-house with rotogravure printing in up to twelve colors or high-quality flexographic printing in up to ten colors. The company’s focus for the North American market is on re-sealable packaging as well as deep drawing flexible and hard films.

The packaging professionals develop their products in close cooperation with their customers, which include traditional family-run companies along with brand-name manufacturers and global players. This ensures packaging solutions and films that are tailored to individual needs. Customers appreciate the consistent quality of the Südpack products. They also benefit from extensive customer support from a team of highly skilled professionals with mechanical engineering background.
