Marbach is on course for further expansion, this time in the USA. After forming its subsidiaries in the USA, Malaysia, China and Mexico in recent years, a second location in the USA will follow this summer. Since 2012, Marbach is represented with a production site in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Jan Brunner, Head of Business Development at Marbach, “The packaging market in the USA is one of the largest in the world. Our plant in Charlotte, has developed well in recent years and we want to offer our customers in the USA even more on-site performance. Our new subsidiary, which we will open this summer, is located in Michigan City, Indiana. We chose this location because it is an excellent place to serve customers in the Chicago metropolitan area and throughout the Midwest.”
Planning is in full swing. A suitable building has already been found. Marbach is currently equipping the new site with state-of-the-art machines and materials. In addition, Marbach is already recruiting and training employees for the new location. In Michigan City, Marbach will concentrate mainly on manufacturing of tools for the folding carton industry. In addition, tools for flatbed die cutting of corrugated board will also be manufactured.
Fernando Pires, COO Marbach America, adds, “We are excited to announce our new plant in the USA. Our business is running extremely well and customers are happy. Soon we will be able to offer more capacity and shorter delivery times, especially for customers in the Midwestern States. To ensure that everything will run smoothly during the start-up phase, the new employees will be trained and supported by experts from other Marbach plants. Our team is looking forward to bring on board many new customers.’’
