Jaipur, Sep 2 (PTI) Packaging inks maker Siegwerk has invested Rs 630 crore in Rajasthan so far and plans to further expand its Bhiwadi operations as it seeks to turn the facility into its largest manufacturing hub globally, the company said on Wednesday.

The Germany-based company, which is completing 20 years of operations in India in 2026, plans further investments in manufacturing, technology, innovation, and research and development.

Its Bhiwadi facility, which currently has an annual production capacity of 35,000 metric tonnes, is spread over 19 acres and employs around 600 people.

He said that the company is also developing its India Global Capability Centre (GCC) at Bhiwadi as a platform to create solutions and expertise for markets outside India.

"The site is being expanded to add capacity and automation and is expected to become Siegwerk's largest Centre of Excellence worldwide," he said.

"Our focus now is to further strengthen our network and build capabilities that enable us to serve not only the Indian market, but customers and businesses across Asia and around the world," Pradhan said.
