Sonoco Products Company has announced a capital investment of $30m in its Orlando, US, facility aimed at increasing its production capacity in the adhesives and sealants sector.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The move is expected to add 100 million units to the company\u2019s annual output, addressing the rising demand for these products.<\/p>\n

Sonoco noted that the investment will focus on both upgrading current production lines and establishing new ones, which is intended to enhance operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

In addition to the company\u2019s Orlando site, the expanded capacity will be distributed across Sonoco\u2019s other two facilities in the US, a move designed to improve supply chain reliability and ensure consistent access to materials for customers.<\/p>\n

Orange County mayor Jerry Demings said: \u201cWe are excited to see companies like Sonoco continue to invest and expand in Orange County.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir decision to grow here underscores the strength of our regional economy and reinforces the importance of supporting businesses that help diversify our economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment not only benefits our community today but helps position Orange County for a more prosperous future, attracting companies that support our region and our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

This development reflects Sonoco\u2019s ongoing efforts to adapt to market needs.<\/p>\n

Sonoco North America Rigid Paper Containers vice-president and general manager Elizabeth Rhue said: \u201cAt Sonoco, we are committed to investing in the latest technology and production efficiencies to support the evolving needs of our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality products while reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the adhesives and sealants market.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May this year, Sonoco published its corporate sustainability report<\/a> for 2024, highlighting its shift towards more environmentally friendly practices.<\/p>\n
