Schubert North America opens new 45,000-square-foot headquarters in Charlotte

Schubert North America is entering a new era with the construction of its new headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Designed to support the company’s continued growth across the United States and Canada, the new facility will serve as a hub for sales, engineering, service, customer training, and final assembly of Schubert packaging machines.  

Located on a 7.36-acre site, the approximately 45,000-square-foot headquarters has been designed to enhance customer support while providing room for future expansion. Once complete, customers will be able to participate in final machine acceptance testing, operator training, and service activities locally in Charlotte, reducing the need to travel overseas.

“North America continues to be one of Schubert’s most important growth markets,” said Hartmut Siegel, Chief Executive Officer of Schubert North America. “Our new headquarters allows us to be even closer to our customers while expanding our capabilities for machine assembly, commissioning, service, and training. This investment reinforces our long-term commitment to supporting manufacturers throughout North America.”

The facility has been designed in accordance with Schubert’s global Mission Blue sustainability initiative and incorporates numerous features aligned with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. Its energy-efficient design reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability while providing a modern, collaborative environment for employees and customers alike.

In addition to expanded office space, the headquarters will include: 

• Final assembly and commissioning of Schubert packaging machines  

• A dedicated service workshop  

• Customer training facilities  

• Engineering, sales, and technical support operations  

• Capacity for future expansion as customer demand continues to grow throughout North America

Construction of the new headquarters was led by CoxSchepp Construction, a Charlotte-based, construction firm with decades of experience delivering commercial projects throughout the Southeast. Known for its design-build expertise, collaborative approach, and commitment to quality, CoxSchepp has built a reputation for completing complex projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.

Since establishing its North American headquarters in Charlotte in 2015, Schubert has experienced significant growth driven by increasing demand for flexible, intelligent packaging automation solutions. The new headquarters represents the next milestone in that journey and further strengthens Schubert’s ability to provide local expertise, faster response times, and expanded support for manufacturers throughout the region.  

More than a new building, the Charlotte headquarters represents Schubert’s continued investment in innovation, customer partnerships, and the future of packaging automation in North America.

To mark this significant milestone, Schubert North America is planning a Grand Opening celebration in early spring 2027. Customers, partners, community leaders, and industry representatives will be invited to tour the new facility, experience Schubert’s latest packaging technologies, and celebrate the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the company in North America.
