Marvaco, CSW & GPN Partners Expand Service Network to Oceania, Asia & Germany
February 29, 2020The Global Premedia Network (GPN) is pleased to announce its next expansion, which will double its combined service footprint in Europe and further extend it to Oceania and Asia. This rapidly growing alliance of independent packaging premedia companies is joined today by the German-based Carl Ostermann Erben GmbH (COE) and Brandpack Australasia.
“We welcome the opportunity to forge partnerships with new members as we have done already with exceptional partners from South America, Scandinavia and Africa,” said Laura Wright, the CEO of North American-based CSW Inc. “The GPN is well-positioned for explosive growth internationally, and we are excited to support this organization, which is unique in scale and scope.”
“It is a great pleasure to extend our global reach with Australian based Brandpack and to amplify our local premedia services in Germany with COE,” stated MARVACO’s Chairman Kai Lankinen. “Our network is not only devoted to international brand stewardship and continuous development of our technical portfolios, but we also believe that our combined effort to promote expanded gamut printing and streamlined manufacturing workflow could lead to more sustainable package printing,” said Lankinen. “For years, we’ve been successfully coordinating this effort between CSW and MARVACO, and are now looking to join forces with new partners.”
With further expansion planned over the next few months in other geographical areas including Asia Pacific, Latin America and Adriatic Region, the GPN services will become an even more attractive option for international brand owners managing and/or procuring consistent packaging around the world. This globally coordinated, technically aligned and locally rooted network of dedicated premedia providers will extend the reach of international FMCGs well beyond currently offered premedia solutions.
