Said to be the company’s seventh regional centre across Europe and the second in the UK, the new centre offers customers hands-on, real-time insight into how to meet their business needs through the continued implementation of packaging and service innovations.
It is equipped with advanced technologies and tools, such as a virtual store, a retail insight centre, a shelf viewer and a full-screen cinema room.
Smurfit Kappa UK packaging development manager Phil Husband said: "By opening the centre in Mold, we are able to offer a localised service that supports businesses based around the region."
The company’s new centre joins a network of Experience Centres that are being rolled out across Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Ireland and Spain.
