Packaging manufacturer DS Smith announces investments of over EUR 14 million in its operations in Romania. The largest investment, EUR 10.5 million, will be made at the Timisoara factory by the first quarter of 2027. The company says the investments will allow for reduced delivery times and the development of new types of packaging, by using technologies based on real-time quality control and streamlining production processes.
In parallel, the Ghimbav factory will benefit from additional investments of EUR 3.6 million in 2026 to modernize the infrastructure and improve production equipment. The project comes after a 13 million euro investment started in 2023 in the same unit.
“In 2026, DS Smith Packaging Romania continues to accelerate its investments and business transformation, with a clear growth direction and ambitious objectives for the coming period. Despite a challenging economic context, we remain focused on development, competitiveness and concrete responses to the ever-changing needs of our customers,” says Christian Schmidt, Cluster Director, DS Smith Packaging Romania.
