Challenge

Primus, the expert in top of the range outdoor equipment, produces cooking stoves, vacuum bottles, cutlery and lanterns. Primus needed a Managed Packaging model that enabled Primus to control the manufacturing of complex retail packaging in China. This allows Primus to focus on the core of their business.

Solution

The Managed Packaging service delivered by Billerud includes delivering structural designs, printing specifications and manufacturing expertise in China as well as quality assurance and color consistency. The sourcing of packages from China has been made simple with Billerud providing support both locally in Sweden and to Primus suppliers (the OEMs) in China, as well as during the implementation phase when Billerud production partner in China produce the packages.

A comprehensive review of the company’s product packaging has so far resulted in the delivery of over 140,000 new packages.
