Sofidel has identified Circleville, Ohio - pending required approvals and favorable due diligence - as an area for launching the first greenfield investment in the new continent, a step which will significantly increase the company's production capacity.
The selected area, in the Midwest, offers important cities located within a few hundred kilometres and is a well-established logistics hub for distribution operators.
Additionally, Sofidel has also recently set up a new office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the East Coast, one of the most densely populated areas in the country which will serve as the new headquarters of Sofidel America.
"The US market is a key market for our Group, because it is the first in the world in terms of per capita consumption in the tissue sector," explained Luigi Lazzareschi, CEO of Sofidel Group."Today, the Sofidel Group has operations in 7 states, and with the recent investments we are creating the necessary conditions to further increase our service levels and enhance the added value that we offer our customers."
The Sofidel Group, a privately held company owned by the Stefani and Lazzareschi families, is a world leader in the manufacture of paper for hygienic and domestic use.
