Packaging Innovation

UPS and Sealed Air Corporation have announced the opening of a Packaging Innovation Center in Louisville, Kentucky. The operation is located on the UPS Supply Chain Solutions campus, near the Worldport facility, which is the UPS Air Group’s global headquarters.

UPS said that the centre will aim to “help solve the packaging and shipping challenges of e-commerce retailers, and companies in many other industries, by maximizing efficiency, minimizing waste, reducing shipping costs, and increasing brand affinity”.

The two companies announced a strategic partnership in November 2016.

Alan Gershenhorn, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, UPS, commented: “UPS customers don’t just need supply chain innovation. They also need packaging innovation. Our partnership with Sealed Air, and the new Packaging Innovation Center, will allow UPS to bring a more complete set of solutions as we help customers re-imagine their entire supply chains, including packaging.”
