Desk Lifting Columns
European-based Company
Problem
How an overseas supplier wasn’t close to meeting the needs of a brand.
For an American company that manufactures electric activated corporate desk lifting columns, having a European-based supplier for packaging had a lot of challenges. From delivery to costs, their overseas supplier was not providing cost-effective and time sensitive value. It was a supply chain dilemma that not only required another molded fiber packaging supplier, but one located in the U.S. This is when they found EnviroPAK.
Solution
Made a lot better in the USA.
Finding a near source molded fiber custom packaging supplier like EnviroPAK was exactly the right source solution this brand required. While still in the project development phase, EnviroPAK is already delivering positive outcomes. For example, as a St. Louis-based supplier, EnviroPAK is thousands of miles closer to the company’s Midwest manufacturing facilities. This will eliminate the vast complexities of overseas shipping and lower shipping costs.
The fuel savings from shorter shipping distances, and the fact that EnviroPAK molded fiber packaging is compostable and biodegradable, will be a sustainability win, win. Another positive is the value engineering by EnviroPAK that will standardize the desk lifting product packaging size to reduce SKUs for the different product models. What’s next?
