Under the slogan “End-To-End Solutions for the new consumers”, on 7th and 8th June Saica Pack held its 8th Professional European Conference in Bordeaux. This was attended by more than 140 professionals from the industry and the consumer sector from seven different European countries. Throughout the conference the knowledge and high level experience of the speakers was shared.

The Country Manager of Saica Pack France, Serge Fourcade, was in charge of opening the event. He highlighted that Saica Pack’s aim is “to create value for our clients throughout the logistics, production and sales chain, providing specialised services in packaging in an integrated, sustainable way”.

Likewise, Nestlé’s European Procurement Category Manager, Jean Pascal Templier expressed the need for a “long-lasting, structured “client/provider” relationship that leads towards a balanced distribution of values for sustainable growth”.

After that, the new consumer trends in large distribution were discussed by two subject experts: Alois Lokange from Kalista and Grégory Fournier from Dessault Systèmes. Both carried out demonstrations with the latest 3D simulation of the product on the supermarket shelf.

Last of all, the Category Manager, Jacqueline Murphy, from the leading drinks and spirits company, Diageo, explained the methodology and collaborative spirit that is necessary to reach the condition of “strategic” provider.

In the event’s closing ceremony, Saica’s Managing Director, Pedro Gascón, pointed out the “innovation in products, the increase in the production capacity and the value added throughout the entire value chain” as main axis of the Aragon-based multinational company in order to help their customers to meet the new market needs.
