Swiss packaging company SIG has announced plans to strengthen its presence in India with an additional investment of EUR 100-million (USD 114.92-million), building on its existing commitment of EUR 200-million (USD 229.84-million). This follows the inauguration of SIG’s first aseptic carton production facility in February 2025.
According to a leading wire service, the announcement was made by SIG Group CEO Samuel Sigrist during Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal’s recent visit to Switzerland. Sigrist highlighted the Indian government’s continued encouragement of foreign investment and expressed satisfaction with the policy framework.
SIG is working closely with brands like Frooti, Maaza, and Amul, and supplies packaging solutions to brands like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.
The Ahmedabad site, a EUR 90-million (USD 102.6-million) investment, began commercial operations in February 2025 after being constructed in 20 months. The plant, part of the Make in India initiative, currently produces up to four-billion aseptic carton packs annually, with expansion plans to scale up to 10-billion units. It has generated over 300 jobs.
