“Even before the official opening we had our first customer workshops."

Furthermore, the new PackRight centre will use the latest technology, as well as various design and creative tools to develop concrete and feasible solutions.

Dilger added: “Even before the official opening we had our first customer workshops. The results of these workshops exceeded all expectations.

“The interdisciplinary teams take account of all aspects of the supply cycle, and our customers save valuable time for internal coordination, as all important contacts are involved in the development of the solution. This shortens time-to-market considerably.”

DS Smith is also set to open a new PackRight centre in Germany over the next few weeks.
