German manufacturing firm relocating sales office to Henrico

German packaging solutions manufacturer BRANOpac GmbH has relocated its Orlando, Florida, sales office to Henrico County, the Greater Richmond Partnership announced Thursday. The office will grow to five employees by 2020 and invest up to $500,000 in the relocation.

“Our office in Greater Richmond will provide closer proximity to business partners, existing customers and target markets/industries,” said Nico Choczko, BRANOpac USA’s general manager, in a statement. “The Greater Richmond Partnership was an invaluable resource during this relocation from start to finish. From initial meetings, introductions and ongoing advisory roles, the GRP supported BRANOpac and allowed for a seamless transition from Florida to Virginia.”

Headquartered in Lich, Germany, BRANOpac is an international manufacturer of protective packaging solutions, including volatile corrosion inhibitors and high-quality food-grade papers and technical papers for shipping.

The Greater Richmond Partnership worked with Henrico County Economic Development to facilitate the relocation. Commercial real estate agent Tom Langston of S.L. Nusbaum Realty Co., assisted BRANOpac with locating the office space in Glen Allen.
