In this podcast, Johan Faes elaborates on 4PP. It’s a term that’s not very well known yet but can bring companies a lot of profit.
Indeed, in most manufacturing companies, the packaging process is a blind spot. Executives often have no idea how much it costs and what the impact is on customer satisfaction and the CO2 footprint. All attention is focused on the design and production of high-end machinery and equipment, while packaging is often not even someone’s responsibility within the company.
In this podcast we take you through the idea of outsourcing your packaging management to a specialist who does have the expertise and focus. We call this with a fancy word Fourth Party Packaging or 4PP for short. A 4PP provider, as a supply chain director, can optimize your entire packaging supply chain and help you become fully circular.
