“We’ve seen the positive impact of our technology and innovation center in Europe and are thrilled to bring the same level of exceptional training to our U.S. teammates and customers,” said David Gray, Senior Vice President of Sales at Sparck.

The celebration kicked off with a ribbon cutting for the brand new, 18,000-square-foot facility followed by a vibrant time of networking, insightful presentations and a live demonstration of Sparck’s fit-to-size autoboxing machines. The celebration was attended by their international team, former colleagues, customers, family and friends.

Marietta, with its thriving logistics and manufacturing sectors, is an ideal location for Sparck’s new facility. The city’s rapid growth presents an exciting opportunity for Sparck to contribute to this momentum, foster strong connections within the community and strengthen its presence in a dynamic hub of innovation and opportunity. Sparck looks forward to playing a key role in Marietta’s continued success and growth.

“Our 100-year anniversary is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and hard work that has defined Sparck over the years,” said Kees Oosting, CEO of Sparck Technologies. “The opening of our Marietta facility marks an exciting new chapter as we prioritize North America as a key growth market.”

With Sparck’s fit-to-size autoboxing machines, companies can process up to 1,100 boxes per hour, allowing customers to realize up to 30% in material savings, up to 50% in volume savings and eliminate up to 20 manual packing stations. During the anniversary celebration, attendees were able to witness these efficiencies first-hand.

Sparck’s 100-year anniversary celebration serves as a launchpad into the future. Headquartered in the Netherlands, Sparck aims to expand its global presence significantly over the coming years. With the hiring of several new sales associates, customer service representatives and engineers across the U.S., Sparck is positioned to make its mark in the U.S. as the premier company in fit-to-size autoboxing.

“As we expand our presence across the U.S., we’re committed to helping e-commerce companies streamline their operations, cut costs, and reduce environmental impact,” stated Gray. “This new facility marks a significant step forward in our vision to lead the industry in sustainable, efficient packaging solutions.”
