The industrial building, spanning 200,000ft², will be home to approximately 200 employees, supporting Beontag’s commitment to job creation in the region.
Initially focused on graphic and label materials (GLM) functions, the facility will expand to incorporate radio-frequency identification (RFID) capabilities, serving the entire North American market.
Investment and operational excellence
Beontag said that over the next two years, it plans to channel its investment into equipment, machinery, and tenant improvements, aligning the factory with the highest international operational standards.
The plant will facilitate an increase in production volumes, leveraging more efficient machinery such as coaters, slitters, and sheeters for roll label stock, catering to the roll converter market.

Continued expansion in North America
Beontag’s foray into the North American market gained momentum in September 2022 with the acquisition of Technicote, a company boasting more than 40 years of expertise in the pressure-sensitive adhesives market.
The upcoming merger of Technicote into Beontag US strengthens the company’s presence in the US market.
Ricardo Lobo, CEO of Beontag, expressed enthusiasm about the new facility, citing ambitious plans for US expansion.
“Beontag has made no secret of our ambitious plans for US expansion – which are dependent on state-of-the-art facilities, new and innovative equipment, strong infrastructure, and a great community of people. We’re very pleased to have found that in Dayton, Ohio and wish to thank the city and state offices that have helped make this ambition possible.”
