Celebrating Together: Equator’s Milestone with West Michigan and Minneapolis Offices Integration

Hello to our incredible community! We’re thrilled to share a momentous update straight from the heart of Equator. A few months back, we embarked on a transformative journey, integrating West Michigan and Minneapolis into our family. This monumental move has significantly impacted our in-house capabilities and doubled our reach in the dynamic landscape of the United States.

You might recall our excitement about expanding into Toronto, Canada, back in April 2023. Well, now we have more great news to share. The two powerhouse offices, once under SGK’s umbrella, are now seamlessly integrated into Equator. This shift goes beyond changing locations on the map; it solidifies our commitment to delivering top-notch end-to-end strategy, branding, and design services to clients worldwide throughout every phase of their packaging projects.

Our physical presence is not just expanding; it’s strengthening in the US, with a more robust footprint in Chicago and Cincinnati. Simultaneously, our global capacity is soaring, blending seamlessly with our existing locations in Manchester, Nottingham, and Toronto.

Let’s take a moment to applaud the incredible talent and experience we’ve welcomed through this integration. A special shoutout to the West Michigan team for their exceptional work on limited-edition and seasonal designs. Their creativity and expertise are propelling our journey to be a trailblazer in the brand and packaging agency arena.

Reflecting on these past few months, we’re buzzing with excitement. This period has been a thrilling ride of growth for us, and we’re overjoyed to keep up that momentum! Our entire team is energised with the increased capacity and what it means for our fantastic clients, who are reaping the benefits of our enhanced strategic and creative expertise.

Delivering a seamless, end-to-end service is not just a goal for us; it’s our identity. As we expand our talent pool in the areas where you operate, we’re better equipped than ever to bring your visions to life.

This transformative journey is a collective testament to our commitment to providing top-notch services globally. We’re beyond excited about the possibilities this growth brings, and we can’t wait to continue this journey of innovation, creativity, and impactful brand and packaging solutions. Stay tuned – together, we’re evolving to meet your ever-changing needs!
