Case Study

Automated packaging solution significantly reduces logistics costs for mobility aid products

The challenge

Topro’s innovative products needed smarter transport packaging in order to minimise logistics costs and environmental impact.
They also wanted to improve production efficiency and automate their entire packaging process.
Their current packaging was awkward to store and load and was not recyclable.

Our approach

Together with Topro, we assessed the supply chain throughout Europe and with the help of Paper to Box, defined the required packaging criteria and functionality - which all was delivered with our new packaging concept.
Test shipments were also made to their sites in Europe as 90% of their products are exported.

The result

Our new tapered box solution allowed better pallet fill with 180 more products per truck
Our solution for Topro reduced logistics costs by 40% and their packing line is now 100% automated.
