A shelf-ready packaging expert reveals insights
SRP is a must for the food industry. Our colleague Sven Johner reveals why there is no way around trade-compliant shelf packaging.
Problem solver with passion
Short-term production, eye-catchers at the point of sale and the chocolate does not like it too warm or too cold. Shelf-ready packaging is demanding. «These are just some of the challenges we face every day,» says Sven Johner, manager at Model Co-Packing in Niedergösgen in the canton of Solothurn.
«Most people are surprised at what we do at Co-Packing. By the way, that was me at the beginning.»
He calls himself and his team at Model Co-Packing «problem solvers». Because every day Sven Johner and his 22 employees solve tricky problems for their customers. «We can do that so well because we are part of the Model Group. We not only pack, but we also provide the material and logistics. In addition, I have a lot of good minds here with rough edges,» he adds with a laugh.
«The Extra in the Ordinary» by our Co-Packing expert:
What convinces your customers the most?
«Our comprehensive service. 90 percent of our customers come from the food industry. Here, sophisticated shelf-ready packaging is essential.» Sven and his team are ideally positioned for this: «I coordinate three departments: Supply Chain Management, Logistics, and Production. We can machine-equip and fill up to five product types in the correct mixture. In addition, we at Model offer a large selection of different packaging.»
