Pont Packaging Group has just marked its 120-year anniversary, with its employees across Europe coming together to celebrate. In this Spotlight, the company highlights its achievements and outlines what continues to drive the business forward.
A prized product portfolio
Pont is a leading global supplier of sustainable packaging solutions offering a comprehensive range of plastic, glass and metal containers, bottles, closures, and accessories. The extensive portfolio includes virgin, recycled, and bio-based materials designed to meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
The quality, diversity and development of their solutions is the essence of the business with products for use across a wide range of sectors including vitamins and sports nutrition, pet care, food and drink, chemicals and personal care markets. The product ranges constantly regenerate and expand every year in response to emerging fast-growing consumer market enquiries.
The Cylpacker Jar, for example, is a lightweight PET container developed for applications including vitamins, minerals, supplements, confectionery and nutraceuticals. The Ruby DTO Jar extends Pont’s offering for food applications, combining a wide opening with a deep twist-off closure to support products such as sauces, spreads and other viscous foods.
Future-proofed fulfilment
Last year saw the implementation of the company’s largest warehouse investment, with new facilities completed on schedule and fully operational in Poland, the UK and France - each with their own strategic focus.
Warehousing and logistics are the backbone of the business and with pressures on manufacturers and our customers to meet multiple measurable industry criteria, it’s vital the operations provide the most efficient service. Pont achieves this through modernized, enhanced facilities that are operating at state-of-the-art industry standards.
The warehouses work between each other, enabling higher and continual stock availability. By establishing operational continuity, they are able to minimize disruptions for the business and the supply chain whilst supporting the quality of products they supply across Europe.
Driving sustainability
For Pont, sustainability is central to everything they do across all operational departments, from products to warehousing and deliverability. Sustainability is a competitive edge in an increasingly high-pressured and high-cost industry.
As regulation around packaging sustainability, recycled content and traceability continues to develop, this operational approach is likely to become increasingly important, and Pont’s dedicated Sustainability team are committed to the implementation of PPWR and all evolving regulations.
A united culture
Behind the infrastructure, products and technology is the key factor that has enabled Pont to reach its 120-year milestone: its people.
Its success is built on its people. While they supply packaging to customers across a wide range of sectors, none of it would be possible without the dedication, expertise and collaboration of the people behind the organisation.
This anniversary gives Pont a unique opportunity to bring everyone together under one roof and celebrate what we have achieved.
