WestRock is a packaging production company, based in East Kilbride and with global customers and logistics operations across the world. They make millions of packages and boxes per year across a variety of industries, including cartons and tubes for the drinks industry. When a customer of WestRock required packaging pre-assembly, storage, and on-demand delivery within Scotland for their premium alcohol range, WestRock contracted RESCU Solutions to help fulfil this substantial order.
This project is an excellent example of how strong partnerships across Scotland’s ever-growing premium drinks industry can minimise the environmental impacts that occur when packaging is unnecessarily transported long distances between each of the production, pre-assembly, and product packing stages. Packaging pre-assembly is increasingly outsourced to increase efficiency – by working with local Scottish contract packing partners this can be achieved without compromising sustainability goals.
