Smurfit Kappa Wins Top Innovation Accolade

European packaging major Smurfit Kappa received top innovation award from Kellogg’s in the Americas. The ‘Transforming Innovation’ award was given to the company in recognition of the recent project undertaken by Smurfit Kappa to redesign Kellogg’s packaging in order to optimize its supply chain. The sustainable and innovative packaging solution developed by Smurfit Kappa had resulted in substantial reduction in the number of cases during transportation.

Commenting about receiving the award, Marcela Liscano, VP of Smurfit Kappa Pan American Sales noted that the company is honored and happy to receive the award. He commended the great team work which led to creation of innovative packaging solutions for Kellogg’s. Meantime, Hector Gonzalez, Packaging Procurement Manager at Kellogg’s stated that Smurfit Kappa continues to be one among its key business partners.

The Kellogg’s Supplier Awards are given away to companies from Canada through Brazil in recognition of their efforts and dedication in developing sustainable and innovative packaging solutions.

Earlier in April this year, Smurfit Kappa had won top Latin American CSR award for ‘Community Transformation’. During the same month, the company’s creative and innovative packaging solutions for brands including Cobra, Huggies and Schwartz was recognized with 14 awards at the European Flexographic Industry Innovation (EFIA) Awards.
