Schütz Container Systems has opened its new production facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The 370,000-square-foot facility will boost the company’s presence in one of North America’s most important growth regions, enabling Schütz to distribute its packaging more efficiently and sustainably.
The $166 million project is expected to create 185 jobs over the next five years.
The new plant complements the 13 other sites in Schütz's U.S. network. It also embodies and emphasizes the company’s philosophy of combining customer proximity, supply security and sustainability. Shortening transport routes reduces the carbon footprint of the products, which is in line with Schütz’s Green Lifecycle Management.
In the fall of 2025, the Kenosha site will be expanded to include a modern facility for reconditioning used industrial packaging, which represents yet another step towards a circular economy.
