Sealed Air has selected real estate company Childress Klein as its development partner, HOK for the design and engineering of the facility, and Stantec as project management contractor.

The Fortune 500 company has announced its decision to shift its headquarters to Charlotte from New York in July 2014. It is currently working from a leased office space in Charlotte.

The local government is offering $36m incentives, $2.5m grant as well as city and county incentives of $4.4m.

Sealed Air CEO Jerome Peribere previously said: "We are confident that the site Sealed Air has selected for its new global headquarters will allow us to fully execute our vision of constructing a unique, technologically advanced facility that flows in harmony with its natural surroundings."

Sealed Air caters to food and beverage packaging sector. Its product line includes Cryovac brand food packaging, and Bubble Wrap cushioning and Diversey cleaning and hygiene for the food supply chain.

The packaging producer has revenues of around $7bn, and operates across 175 countries.

In April, Sealed Air acquired robotic commercial floor cleaning machines maker Intellibot Robotics.
