Sparck Technologies, a global technology company specializing in fit-to-size automated packaging solutions, recently celebrated the grand opening of their new state-of-the-art facility, Sparck Academy Technology and Innovation Center North America.

This dynamic new facility serves as a dual-purpose hub. It provides hands-on training for both new and current employees and offers an interactive space where customers can experience Sparck’s cutting-edge machines in action.

The celebration kicked off with a ribbon cutting for the brand new, 18,000-square-foot facility followed by a vibrant time of networking, insightful presentations, and a live demonstration of Sparck’s fit-to-size autoboxing machines. The celebration was attended by their international team, former colleagues, customers, family, and friends.

Marietta, Georgia, with its thriving logistics and manufacturing sectors, is an ideal location for Sparck’s new facility. The city’s rapid growth presents an exciting opportunity for Sparck to contribute to this momentum, foster strong connections within the community and strengthen its presence in a dynamic hub of innovation and opportunity. Sparck looks forward to playing a key role in Marietta’s continued success and growth.
