Saica Group Plans Anderson, Indiana, Corrugated Packaging Operations

03/24/2025
Saica Group, a producer of recycled paper for corrugated packaging, plans to establish operations in Anderson, Indiana. The $110 million project is expected to create more than 100 jobs by the end of 2030.

The investment will include the construction of an approximately 350,000-square-foot facility which will feature manufacturing, converting and production areas, along with a warehouse and office space. Operations are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

“Saica is committed to stability and long-term growth in the U.S.,” said Susana Alejandro, President and CEO of Saica Group. “This investment is proof that we are moving forward with our plans in the U.S. as we are convinced that we can provide products that will differentiate us in a crowded market. It reflects our deep commitment to delivering exceptional service, as we believe our knowledge and experience in the production of recycled lightweight papers and corrugated packaging will bring high performance packaging to the US market while becoming more efficient in the use of materials”.

To support the project the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) is committing $2 million in incentive-based tax credits and up to $150,000 in training grants. The IEDC also offered up to $300,000 in Industrial Development Grant Fund incentives to support infrastructure improvements surrounding the site.

“Saica’s investment in Indiana is a testament to our state’s pro-growth business climate and robust network of skilled manufacturing talent,” noted Ann Lathrop, chief strategy officer of the IEDC. “The company’s new Hoosier operations will have a significant impact on the local economy and for the community of Anderson, Madison County and the surrounding central Indiana region for years to come.”

Saica develops and produces recycled paper for corrugated cardboard. The company has four business areas: production of recycled paper for corrugated board (Saica Paper), waste management and environmental services (Saica Natur), production of corrugated board packaging (Saica Pack) and flexible packaging (Saica Flex).
