“We don’t sell the clients what they want, but what they need,” says Mark Dammeyer, company officer with statutory authority. Nordpack tailors the packaging exactly to the client’s needs and supports them as consultants from the first idea to the delivery of the finished packaging material. Historically, packaging materials have been totally underrepresented, but have gained increasing popularity in the last years. The globalisation of all industrial branches plays a role that can’t be neglected: goods are shipped internationally, and successful supply chains not only help to save costs, but also reduce the carbon footprint.

Using the client’s CAD data, Nordpack additionally calculated which other parts also fit into the box so that all parts nestle together.

If, thanks to clever packaging solutions, more car parts fit onto the lorry, this additionally reduces CO2 emissions, since fewer lorries need to drive.
