SIG relocates Lagos office, deepens long-term investment in West Africa

NIGERIA – Global packaging solutions provider SIG has relocated its Lagos office to a new facility, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Nigeria and strengthening its strategic footprint across the West African market.

The move signals SIG’s intent to deepen engagement with food and beverage manufacturers in one of Africa’s fastest-growing consumer markets.

The new workspace is designed to provide a modern, collaborative environment that supports team productivity while enabling closer interaction with customers, partners and industry stakeholders.

“Iinvesting in Nigeria is more than a change of location, it’s a clear statement of intent,” said Iyore Amadasun, Area Business Manager, East & West Africa at SIG.

“We are here for the long term, committed to building strong partnerships with West African businesses and supporting their growth with world-class technology, local expertise and solutions designed for the realities of this market.”

The official opening was attended by Niall Hoey, Vice President, Cluster Middle East & Africa at SIG, who underscored the strategic importance of maintaining a strong local presence.

“This investment in Lagos brings renewed energy to our operations and enables our team to drive more localized initiatives while strengthening trust and collaboration with customers and partners,” he said.

Bryn Thomas, Head of Sub-Saharan Africa at SIG, highlighted the region’s growth trajectory. “Africa is on a strong upward path, with West Africa playing a key role in that expansion. Supporting this acceleration means helping to improve access to safe food and making it more widely available to growing populations.”

The Lagos office will function as a regional hub, enhancing SIG’s ability to deliver technical support, customer service, sales engagement and after-sales solutions tailored to local requirements.

The closer proximity to customers is expected to improve responsiveness, foster innovation and boost operational efficiency across the value chain.

SIG’s renewed investment in Nigeria comes amid rising demand for aseptic and flexible packaging solutions in West Africa, driven by urbanization, retail expansion and the need for longer shelf-life products in markets with infrastructure constraints.

Industry players have increasingly expanded technical service capabilities in-region to reduce downtime and improve production agility.

Headquartered in Switzerland, SIG operates across more than 100 countries, offering aseptic cartons, bag-in-box and spouted pouch solutions.

In 2024, the company produced 57 billion packs and generated €3.3 billion (US$3.93bn) in revenue, supported by a workforce of approximately 9,600 employees.

Its West Africa strategy aligns with broader ambitions to expand safe food access, reduce environmental impact and support sustainable economic development across emerging markets.
