Charlotte, North Carolina (November 18, 2024) – Wyda Packaging, a family-owned leader in sustainable packaging, expands into the U.S. market with a new factory in Charlotte, N.C. With over three decades of expertise in eco-friendly packaging from Brazil to South Africa, Wyda brings its high-quality, 100% recyclable aluminum foil and trays to the U.S. Available for private label and distribution partnerships, these products are designed to meet the rigorous standards of the food service, hospitality, and consumer markets.

“We spent many years researching and studying the U.S. market to reach this major milestone,” said Daniel Mendes, Head of Finance and Country Manager U.S. for Wyda. “The market deserves high-quality, eco-friendly packaging solutions that reflect our commitment to convenience, quality, and sustainability. By establishing a domestic presence, we can offer U.S. consumers and businesses superior service, reduced logistical costs, and faster response times.”

Key Highlights of Wyda’s U.S. Expansion:

1. New Facilities: Wyda’s 15,000 sqft facility features state-of-the-art equipment developed exclusively for Wyda, set to produce 6,000 tons annually. It offers customized aluminum roll sizes and tray formats (half, full, and oval roaster, with options for other sizes).
2. Production Advantage: Wyda brings 32 years of production experience. By producing locally in each market, Wyda reduces logistical costs and environmental impact while providing better communication and faster service.
3. Durable & Recyclable: Wyda’s aluminum products are designed for strength and longevity and offer impact resistance. They use 100% recycled or low-carbon emission aluminum and are the only product in the U.S. with the Alennium seal.
4. Innovative Design: Wyda’s cutting-edge design eliminates the traditional metal blade in aluminum foil packaging, making products safer for users and the environment.
5. Convenience & Versatility: Wyda’s products are safe for oven use, can withstand freezer temperatures, and are easy to handle.
