Sonoco Products Company, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has strengthened its presence in India with the opening of its new Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad. The centre is called the Sonoco Performance Hub. The company has also announced plans to start a Finance Centre of Excellence in the city. This move reflects Sonoco’s long term commitment to the region.
Sonoco set up its IT Performance Hub in Hyderabad in February 2025. With its move to a permanent facility, the centre now has one hundred and forty five technology professionals. They support the company’s global technology organisation.
The new centre will work as a strategic hub for Sonoco’s digital transformation efforts. It will use advanced analytics, automation and emerging technologies to improve operations and create more value for customers around the world.
The Sonoco Performance Hub will build new technology solutions to support the company’s global sustainable packaging operations. This sector is growing as environmental awareness increases across the world.
This development highlights Sonoco’s focus on innovation, sustainability and digital first operations in its international markets.
Howard Coker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sonoco, said the company remains confident in India’s talent strength. He said:
“Our continued investment in Hyderabad reflects both the success of our performance hub and the incredible talent and innovation we’ve found here. Moving to a permanent facility marks an important milestone in our global journey. As we expand to include a finance centre, we are deepening our commitment to building world class teams that drive long term value for our customers.”
The new Finance Centre of Excellence represents the next step in Sonoco’s expansion in India. It will support global finance operations and create employment opportunities for finance and accounting specialists in the region.
This development places Sonoco alongside other global companies that have chosen Hyderabad as a preferred location for multi functional global capability centres.
With more than four hundred global capability centres, Hyderabad has become one of the top destinations for multinational companies setting up technology, finance and operations hubs. Sonoco’s expansion further strengthens the city’s standing as a major global centre for innovation and high value operations.
