Pak 2000: A good year in 2011

Published: 16-Jan-2012

Sales increased more than 10%


For PAK 2000, a global company that designs and manufactures luxury paper bags, the year 2011 ends very well with an increase in sales of more than 10% over the previous year and a substantial increase in its market shares. "And this,” emphasizes Eric Blanche, Director of PAK 2000 France, “in spite of a particularly strong competitive environment. We implemented many key tactics that have made it possible to reach this result, such as, strengthening of the sales team and our commitment to excel in terms of service and follow up of customer orders, the development of new bags with original shapes and design, as well as broadening our range of products to include boxes, presentation cases, etc.

Our first priority for the environment

This is one of the strong points of PAK 2000. In June 2010, they announced their desire to improve solutions in terms of environmentally friendly products through the development of a specific line of packages with new materials and accessories. "Since we can estimate that one third of our business is concerned,” explains Eric Blanche, “we have met the needs of our customers with these new products. The vast majority of Asian partners that manufacture our products are now FSC or PEFC certified which guarantees our customers the origin of the paper from managed forests consistent with current social and environmental standards."

For the managers of PAK 2000, the desire to offer greener products lead to exploring several new avenues: "We have a variety of papers with different levels of recycled components and we never stop exploring ways of making our products more recyclable or more easily biodegradable to reduce their impact on the environment after use."

Currently research is being done to replace plastic laminated films with cellulose films derived from plant fibers.

A global mission

PAK 2000 continues to strengthen its global presence. Most recently, they opened a liaison office "PAK 2000 Asia" in Kunshan, near Shanghai, enabling the company to improve its monitoring of production operations and of its logistics network with its various partners in Asia.

The company has more than twelve industrial partners in South East Asia. Strong and sustainable links that help the company control and develop its ability to respond industrially, improve its responsiveness and above all ensure cost control.

Innovation

This is undoubtedly the "trademark" of PAK 2000: the constant desire for innovation and new products. The year 2011 once again shows this. Examples:



* Double-lid boxes with a "peach" feel

* Presentation cases

* Zipped paper pouches

* Gift packs with a window

* Gift card holders
