Chris Palmer, Aegg’s UK Sales Manager, takes a look at the importance of glass containers during the coronavirus pandemic.

I am the first to admit that I have yet to fully digest the 51 page government consultation document

Here is a quick overview of what I gleaned from the speaker messages from the second day of seminars at Packaging Innovations 2020. 

As referred to in a recent article, there is a lot of consumer ‘buzz’ being created around this topic at the moment. 

Celebrating its 10^th year of business, Aegg, will be exhibiting at stand C27 of Easyfairs’ Packaging Innovations at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) on 26-27 February 2020 (you can register to attend for here).  

With Aegg’s turnover almost doubling since this time last year, Aegg has invested £millions into its packaging logistics infrastructure to facilitate growing demand of its recyclable glass and plastic food and drink packaging supplies ranges. This means that Aegg’s ability to manage the supply chain (for example, importing glass bottles and jars and delivering to a customer’s factory doors in the UK) is now more seamless due to bringing several services in-house.

Nick Parker, Aegg’s Marketing Director, interviewed Pawel Wieczorek, Aegg’s Commercial Director and glass expert, for his thoughts on packaging supplies and the changing nature of the demand for glass food and drink packaging.

As Aegg’s PR consultant, I was invited to attend Aegg’s company briefing at its HQ in Andover, where members from the senior management team updated staff on how the company is doing in relation to its glass and plastic packaging supplies to the food and drink markets.

Having listened to a day of seminars at Packaging Innovations this blog is a summary of thoughts that came from those on stage, or were catalysed in me.
