SIG Group AG is a Swiss multinational corporation and one of the biggest manufacturers in the packaging industry.[2][3][4]

Originally founded 1853 as a railway car producer named Schweizerische Waggonfabrik ("Swiss Wagon Factory"), it was renamed SIG (Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft, German for Swiss Industrial Company; in French, as Société Industrielle Suisse; and, in Italian, as Societá Industriale Svizzera)[5] a decade later, after it had won a contract for the production of firearms by the Swiss government.[6][7]

The SIG Group shares are listed on SIX Swiss Exchange and are a component of the SMI MID index. The industrial site at the headquarters in Neuhausen am Rheinfall is located directly on the Rhine Falls. Built at this location in 1853 for the use of hydroelectric power,[8] the site was transferred to the SIG Charitable Foundation in 2011.[9]
