Brodrene Hartmann CEO Ulrik Kolding Hartvig said: "By increasing production capacity and presence in North America, we will gain access to a larger share of the market and have a solid foundation for expanding the business."

The company has carried out site selection for the new facility and transaction management in coordination with its business and real estate advisers at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.

Operating since 1917, Hartmann is a leading moulded-fibre egg packaging manufacturer worldwide.

The firm also offers fruit packaging solutions in South America and manufacturing machinery for producing moulded-fibre packaging.

It expects the new location to drive its future growth and intends to double its investment at the centre in the next six years.
