Located near Warsaw in Pruszków, the facility features modern folding carton printing equipment.
Staff at the plant are engaged in verifiable coding and serialisation, special finishes and manual assembly among other capabilities.
The facility has 8,000m² of floorspace and focuses on manufacturing specialist paper and board products, including high-quality folding cartons and rigid boxes.
GPA Global president Tom Wang said: “As global supply chains are migrating closer to where products are consumed, having manufacturing in Poland is of strategic importance for us and we intend to continue to expand our presence in the region.
