GPN welcomes new parters to Global Premedia Network
Continuing its mission to become the most globally effective and technically advanced network of packaging premedia providers, the Global Premedia Network (GPN) is pleased to announce new strategic partnerships with two European premedia companies: U. Günther GmbH from Germany and Kliše-Kop Ltd. from Croatia.
The GPN and its international partners offer a comprehensive portfolio of best-in-class premedia solutions, customized for global FMCG organizations that are looking to decrease their packaging development cycle, reduce overall cost, and secure their brand consistency. Today’s announcement is a continuation of the initiative started a year ago by the American premedia provider, CSW, Inc., and the Scandinavian premedia provider, MARVACO Ltd.
Since its inception, the GPN had rapidly expanded onto six continents and currently includes thirty-three highly advanced premedia manufacturing facilities. “Our goal is to drive growth, accelerate innovation and provide the speed to market demanded by brand owners worldwide,”noted Kai Lankinen, MARVACO’s Executive Partner.
Together, the GPN’s members plan to deliver an unprecedented level of end-to-end premedia services by combining individual capabilities, leveraging their complementary knowledge, and taking advantage of their strategically located service facilities. “With the current global health crisis reminding us of how highly interdependent the world is, we continue to expand the GPN’s network in order to better respond to the current and future needs of FMCGs procuring packaging globally,” noted Laura Wright, the CEO of CSW, Inc. “Various manufacturing, shipping and travel restrictions related to the pandemic have brought the need for global collaboration to the forefront,” Kai Lankinen added.
"This strategic partnership is aligned well with our core values and long-term company strategy. We believe that our complementary knowledge and in-depth relationships with local packaging converters will allow us to provide our current and future customers with greater international coverage and improve brand consistency across the border,” commented Peter Tarnowski, U. Günther’s CEO, whose company generates twenty-five percent of its revenue by working with international clients. He continued, “We appreciate that all GPN members are in agreement to support each other in multi-layered technical, sales and marketing efforts that include joint research and development, collaboration in emerging markets, networking and sharing of best practices with our converting partners.”
“We are excited to work in cooperation to grow our businesses and accelerate joint innovations. This network has the potential to reshape the current status-quo of global premedia services and to transform the way international are procuring services and tooling,” said Tomislav Maglić, CEO of Croatian Kliše-Kop. “We are planning on future growth so, the opportunity to collaborate with global partners will not only expand our exposure to foreign markets but will also help us to learn how to better serve our domestic clients", noted Roman Šoić, Kliše-Kop Commercial Director.
“Our initial goal was to find strategic partners on six continents. After achieving this, we are now focused on fine-tuning our strategy for future growth, developing technical, marketing and sales objectives, as well as continuing to identify potential new candidates who would be able to further expand our geographical service coverage. GPN customers are looking for global coordination with strong local responsiveness...” stated Marek Skrzynski, CSW’s Technical Director and network coordinator “...and we are planning to exceed their expectations.”
