There are multiple high-performing manufacturers in the corrugated cardboard sector in Europe. However, selecting the right partner remains a recurring challenge, especially due to the lack of transparency about capacities and capabilities of suppliers when it comes to custom formats. For EGLO, finding the right supplier for pallet packaging was particularly difficult. First, the required formats cannot be produced using conventional machines. Second, international subsidiaries need to be supplied, which significantly restricts the selection of suppliers and makes the search complicated and time-consuming.

To solve this problem and achieve the best prices for their corrugated cardboard solution, EGLO collaborated with Packmatic. EGLO used Packmatic's intelligent matching technology, which connects with the capacities and machine parks of over 400 packaging suppliers in Europe. This data is continually updated on the platform. While a traditional supplier search can take up to six months, Packmatic identified suitable suppliers for EGLO in seconds. In addition, the platform facilitated efficient communication and project management, from tendering to ordering.
