Complete change to metal packaging for rubber products

Leading manufacturer of synthetic rubber stops using wood packaging and switches to returnable and reusable metal Intermediate Bulk Containers.

By the middle of 2007 the Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) business unit of LANXESS will change over its packaging from wooden packaging to metal in all its three sites, in Orange/USA, Port Jerome/France and Dormagen/Germany.

LANXESS has decided on a long term collaboration with Goodpack Inc., Singapore, which is the market leader for reusable metal packaging. "With this step we are going to meet the expectations, especially from the tire industry and signal hereby our sustained commitment", said Dr. Joachim Grub, head of the business unit PBR.

The implementation will be carried out gradually in the different sites and production lines, as technical adjustments will be needed in the area of the packaging facilities. "Together with Goodpack we will facilitate the change-over for our customers. We do not expect major problems with this as the Goodpack boxes are already widely used in the industry." added Christoph Kalla, head of marketing of the business unit PBR.

Until now the implementation of a wood free packaging has always failed due to the significant higher costs. "Goodpack already has a long experience with the leasing of standardised, reusable metal boxes for rubber and has built up an efficient international network with service depots in more than 60 countries. This global pooling makes competitive costs possible, especially with the overseas business", explained Christoph Lammertz, head of procurement packaging.

"Goodpack, the world's leading supplier of returnable metal Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), has been selected by LANXESS, a leading manufacturer of synthetic rubber, to be their supplier of IBCs. The Goodpack organization is committed to improvements in logistics and packaging across all the industries it serves. It will work diligently to ensure the trust of LANXESS and the total satisfaction of its customers", states John Wong, CEO of Goodpack Ltd.
