5 Meaningful Investments in 2025
Koch is always looking for opportunities to invest our capital in ways that will create more value for our businesses, employees, partners and society. Our investments aren’t anchored to a specific product or industry. Instead, we’re looking for opportunities to leverage or enhance our capabilities to create mutually beneficial outcomes. Often, this comes in the form of reinvesting in our facilities through upgrades to existing assets or expanding capabilities. We also take advantage of opportunities to invest in new technologies and companies where we believe we can apply our capabilities to make them more successful than they are today. That’s why we’ve made new investments in biotechnology, medical technology, real estate, telecommunications and software, to name but a few. While we make many investments during the year, big and small, here are five of Koch’s investments in 2025 that will help set us up to be more successful in 2026 and beyond. Georgia-Pacific Alabama River & Englehart Mills Reinvestment Georgia-Pacific reinvested $800 million in its Alabama River Cellulose Mill in Perdue Hill, Alabama, and $140 million into its Englehart OSB mill in Englehart, Ontario. The investments will help expand and enhance current operations at the oriented strand board mill and enable Alabama River to increase its production capacity to approximately 300 tons of fluff and market pulp per day. Molex Signs Agreement to Acquire Smiths Interconnect In October, Molex announced an agreement to acquire Smiths Interconnect, a leading provider of high-reliability connectivity products and solutions serving the aerospace and defense, medical, semiconductor test and industrial markets. The acquisition reinforces Molex’s commitment to increasing its capabilities and offerings in the aerospace and defense market. It complements their acquisition of AirBorn in 2024. Edged Data Centers Edged is a company created by Koch Real Estate Investments aimed at leveraging Koch’s capabilities in the real estate and infrastructure industries, as well as our expertise in large-scale cooling and power, to meet the increasing demand for data center development. The company was founded in partnership with Jakob Carnemark, an experienced entrepreneur in the space, and offers the ability to develop, build and operate large data centers using an internally developed waterless advanced cooling system. Edged has already built projects for some of the biggest hyperscalers in the industry, including projects in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Kansas City. Georgia-Pacific Acquires Anchor Packaging Anchor Packaging specializes in rigid food containers and cling films for food service and retail. The acquisition , which was completed in October, will complement Georgia-Pacific’s Dixie® tableware products business. The combination of the companies’ capabilities will help drive growth and innovation in their products that cater to the food and beverage sector. Koch Equity Development Acquires iconectiv The agreement to acquire iconectiv , a global telecommunications solutions leader, underscores KED’s continued investment focus on telecommunications software and data services. KED and Koch’s capital and capabilities will help unlock growth opportunities for iconectiv’s work in network and operations management, numbering and data exchange services, and digital identity management and fraud prevention. Koch as a Lab When Koch makes an investment, it’s about more than just bringing capital. With its diverse capabilities and business sectors, Koch is in a unique position to integrate new technologies into our existing businesses and put them to the test, quickly discovering value, opportunities and failures, while helping to scale and develop the technology faster. “There’s plenty of capital in the markets today,” said Richard Dinkel, Koch chief financial officer, “but one thing that makes Koch capital more attractive is this concept of Koch as a lab and the ability to bring your products and services into Koch and actually test it and see if it works and how to make it better.”
