Swedish packaging specialist Lamiflex is set to launch a new strategy to meet the future challenges of the multi billion dollar global packaging industry. From February 20, 2010 the company will be offering customers a one‐stop‐shop for tailor made, complete packaging solutions.

CEO Jonas Tegström says: “For more than 35 years we have built up a unique competence in producing innovative packaging solutions for heavy industrial products such as steel, aluminium and cable. Now we will be focusing on complete systems solutions. This involves taking into account the entire packaging process for our clients, including their equipment, methods and models for how the packaging will be carried out. As a result, our customers will get a partner for continuous development and improvement of packaging solutions, instead of just a supplier of materials.”

Lamiflex, founded in Sweden in 1992, has driven and continues to drive, several development projects with many of the steel industry’s major players, as Arcelor, TKS and SSAB. Examples of this work includes moving from traditional packaging materials of paper and steel to new solutions, primarily in plastic, aimed at finding optimal solutions in terms of ergonomics, recyclability and total cost.

New innovations, new markets
In the service industry for oil and gas production Lamiflex has been a pioneer in replacing traditional packaging in wood to lighter, more ergonomic and cost effective solutions.. Lamiflex products are well suited to packing and protecting these products which include downhole/wellhead equipment and reeled products such as wireline, ropes and coiled tubing that are transported out to the oilfields owned by companies like Exxon, Statoil, BP etc

“Our mission is not only to offer customers a one‐stop‐shop for tailor made, complete packaging solutions, meeting different industrial needs, but also to provide excellent service, product quality and sustainable packaging to the world wide packaging industry,” adds Jonas Tegström.”

Collaboration with Aluminium company
Lamiflex’ co‐operation with Alu‐Norf of Germany the world’s largest manufacturer of aluminium sheets, is a particularly strong example of where the new strategy can produce substantial benefits. The company has provided a complete solution consisting of new packaging materials as well as automation and recycling systems, resulting in lower overall costs, improved quality packaging and a more effective production process.

Strong web presence
To mark it’s transition from a product supplier to a complete solutions provider, Lamiflex will also be launching a new website on February xxth, 2010 www.lamiflex.se. The new, user‐friendly site is aimed at customers and global partners and provides complete descriptions of solutions and services.
