It will strengthen the company’s operations in Europe, which also includes locations in Poland and France, as well as a previously announced site in Innsbruck, Austria.
ePac Europe managing director Johnny Hobeika said: “Since opening our first European plant in Silverstone in December 2019, we’ve grown steadily, not only in the UK but in regions across Europe.
“Our new sales and manufacturing location in Sheffield will get us even closer to our local and regional brands, as well as larger brands with a pan-European or global presence.
“Furthermore, we have recently launched ePacONE (One Network Everywhere), a proprietary cloud-based system that connects all 24 ePac locations across the globe, enabling our customers to have their jobs produced at scale, when they’re needed, where they’re needed.
