M&G Group success story
Corrugated board replaces plastic in transport packaging - how the industry is turning to corrugated board
The M&G Group is a leading global manufacturer of flue gas exhaust and ventilation systems. For 20 years, we have been supplying the M&G Group with packaging for a wide variety of individual parts. Now, M&G is also replacing its existing polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane foam (PU) inserts with paper-based inserts made of corrugated cardboard. The most important criteria here are maximum product stability and a plastic-free, easily recyclable filler material.

- M&G recibió una respuesta muy positiva por parte de sus clientes respecto a la nueva solución de cartón ondulado
Klingele nos ha vuelto a convencer plenamente con este nuevo desarrollo, sin duda muy sofisticado: la fijación de cartón ondulado es muy resistente y nos permite prescindir, en este embalaje, de las fijaciones de EPS y PU que utilizábamos hasta ahora. Además, Klingele nos asesora con gran competencia, conoce bien nuestras necesidades y ofrece una solución creativa para cada reto. En estos tiempos, en los que se buscan alternativas a las soluciones de plástico basadas en papel y de rápida implementación, que también puedan utilizarse en grandes cantidades, Klingele tiene, sencillamente, la oferta adecuada.
