Sonoco Products Company, a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has expanded its footprint in India with the launch of its new Global Capability Centre (GCC), named the Sonoco Performance Hub, in Hyderabad. The company also announced plans to establish a Finance Centre of Excellence (FCoE) in the city, strengthening its long-term commitment to the region.
Strengthening Global Operations from Hyderabad
Sonoco first established its IT Performance Hub in Hyderabad in February 2025. With the shift into a permanent facility, the GCC now houses 145 technology professionals who support Sonoco’s global technology organisation.
The new centre will serve as a strategic hub enabling the company’s global digital transformation agenda, leveraging advanced analytics, automation, and emerging technologies to deliver operational efficiency and enhanced value for customers worldwide.
Driving Digital Transformation and Sustainability
The Sonoco Performance Hub will develop cutting-edge technology solutions that enhance the company’s global operations in sustainable packaging—an industry gaining momentum amid rising global environmental consciousness.
This move reinforces Sonoco’s focus on innovation, sustainability, and digital-first operations across its international markets.
Leadership Statement
Highlighting Sonoco’s confidence in India’s talent ecosystem, Howard Coker, President & CEO, Sonoco, 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.”
Expansion Beyond Technology
The upcoming Finance Centre of Excellence marks Sonoco’s next phase of capability expansion in India. The FCoE will support global finance operations and create new employment opportunities for finance and accounting professionals in the region.
This development aligns Sonoco with other global enterprises choosing Hyderabad as a preferred destination for multi-functional GCCs.
