Smurfit Kappa sits at the forefront of e-commerce packaging solutions in Europe

Smurfit Kappa has announced the new name for its e-retail offering – eSmart – which comes alongside the news that the business is working with 70% of all leading European e-retail brands. This places Smurfit Kappa firmly at the forefront of e-commerce packaging solutions.

eSmart guides businesses through 12 key areas relating to e-retail process optimisation, supply chain efficiency, and delivery of superior customer experience.

Edwin Goffard, COO Corrugated Europe, said: “As online sales grow and consumer expectations evolve in an increasingly digitalised world, the pressure is on for brand owners and e-retailers to stand out from the crowd. Packaging plays a vital role in helping businesses grow profitably, manage supply chain complexity, and deliver the right brand experience.
