Description

Kotronis Packaging is considering expanding its business to secondary packaging for the medical sector. The idea of expansion and particularly to this sector derives from several benefits and opportunities for the company and due to the fact that there is a noted gap for innovation in sustainable medical packaging, which means that the market analysis is essential to look into the expansion. Kotronis Packaging decided to look into expanding to the medical packaging sector since they will have a competitive advantage due to the similarities with the market they are already in but also to investigate the possibility to produce medical packaging more environmentally friendly than the existing solutions.

The project will be implemented in collaboration with a Norwegian Partner, Norner As. Norner is a leading industrial polymer Research & Development centre for the polymer and plastics industry with over 40 years of experience. Norner currently has 90 employees from 12 nationalities and is in an exciting development phase.
