Beontag opens 80m USD facility in Ohio

Beontag, a provider of pressure-sensitive adhesives and smart tags using technologies such as RFID and NFC, has opened the doors on its new facility in Trotwood, Ohio, in the Dayton area. The site, which was announced in November last year, marks another step for the expanding global company, which has just celebrated its 40th anniversary.

The opening ceremony was attended by Trotwood mayor Yvette F. Page, vice mayor Tyna R. Brown, councilwoman Bettye L. Gates, city manager Quincy Pope and company clients and partners, along with Beontag global CEO Ricardo Lobo, executive board members and several representatives from Beontag’s global and North American leadership teams.

This opening represents planned investment of 80 million USD in the facility, including investment in technology equipment and infrastructure, quadrupling Beontag’s output capacity in North America. By Q4 2025, the facility will be able to ship up to 3 billion RFID tags and up to 2.9 billion sq ft (270 million sq m) of graphic and label materials per year, equivalent to more than 50,000 football fields, for sectors including mass market labeling, tickets, industrial and smart tire tags. 

The facility will employ more than 220 people.

Ricardo Lobo, Beontag CEO, said: ‘We are delighted to open this state-of-the-art facility in Trotwood, Ohio. As our company continues to meet the existing and emerging needs of customers across North America and beyond, our success depends upon an unshakeable commitment to innovation, best-in-class facilities, top-quality equipment and a truly exceptional team. We are grateful to have found all that and more here in Trotwood.

‘I am looking forward to the team here helping to further our company vision of innovation and excellence across every sector we operate in, pushing the boundaries of what is possible for quality and sustainability.’

Trotwood mayor Yvette F. Page said: ‘We are thrilled to officially welcome Beontag to Trotwood. Their arrival marks a significant step in our city’s economic growth and reaffirms Trotwood’s standing as a community where innovation meets opportunity. With their advanced technology and commitment to quality, Beontag will help showcase Trotwood as a place where global business can thrive, rooted in a proud and dedicated community eager to support their success.’
