The 28,500 sqm property is located in a strategic location, in a key industrial area of Győr. The building is well suited to DS Smith’s business needs, offering opportunities for future growth. Until now, DS Smith Packaging Hungary has used a part of the property as a tenant. The seller is OTP Real Estate Investment Trust, Hungary’s leading real estate investor.
“I am pleased to announce DS Smith’s new investment in Eastern Europe, the purchase of our site in Győr. This strategic investment expands our existing plant with a modern facility, which further strengthens our position in the region and provides our customers with adequate space for packaging solutions aimed at replacing plastic,” said Reinier Schlatmann, Managing Director, DS Smith Eastern Europe Region.
This acquisition further strengthens DS Smith’s presence in Hungary, where the company operates two traditional corrugated packaging manufacturing plants in Füzesabony and Nagykát, as well as four service centers in Tiszaújváros, Nagykát, Székesfehérvár and Sárvár. The investment ensures long-term continuity of operation at the DS Smith factory in Győr, optimises its cost structure, and creates a solid foundation for further growth in Hungary.
