Evertis, a PET multilayer film supplier, unveiled plans to build a new production plant in Columbia, S.C.
With a total investment of US $100 million, the new facility is scheduled to be operational in Q2 2026, with its first commercial sales to customers anticipated later that year. The initial phase of the expansion will add 30,000 tons of new capacity to the North American packaging market and is projected to create more than 100 full-time jobs in the region.
This strategic move will also generate significant benefits across the local value chain, with further expansion planned. In Q2 2028, a second phase will increase production capacity by an additional 30,000 tons, raising the total capacity to 60,000 tons. The decision to expand with a new production plant in the U.S. reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening its local presence and ensuring more reliable, efficient supply to meet the growing demand in North America.
“This is truly another important milestone on our journey to deliver our packaging to the doorsteps of our customers,” said Thomaz Gruber, executive vice president of operations of Evertis USA. “The asset addition to our global Group production footprint will enable us to offer shorter lead times, reduce supply chain risks, and better align with the increasing market demand for packaging solutions that prioritize circularity and environmental responsibility.”
Evertis is part of the IMG Group. “As we expand in the US, our focus is on delivering packaging solutions that help our customers minimize their environmental footprint. With localized production, we can better support their goals for reducing life cycle impacts, while our innovative portfolio opens new opportunities for greater circularity in the packaging industry.” said Dan Kearny, chief business officer of IMG Group
