Environmentally friendly on the move

Power of Innovation, Power of Cooperation and Power of Fascination are the drivers and secret behind Progroup's success. The Power of Cooperation is particularly important in the area of logistics. Progroup’s cooperation with its customers is crucial for its success: A packaging park model will never be successful without close cooperation.

Packaging is systemically important because it is indispensable in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Sophisticated logistical planning is required to deliver the raw material that is needed to make packaging - corrugated board - to the packaging manufacturers on time.

Consignments need to be managed in an intelligent and eco-friendly way. Progroup’s packaging parks, which are constructed in cooperation with the customers, are crucial for achieving this goal. Fewer truck journeys are required, thus reducing CO2 emissions.

Progroup has three business models. The traditional model, the packaging park I model and the packaging park II model. The packaging park models represent the closest form of working relationship with the customers and are a successful example of the “Power of Cooperation”. Progroup is convinced that the packaging park in all its manifestations will increasingly define the way that companies work together.

How much CO² can be saved during transport using Next Board®

Next Board^® corrugated boards weigh less and are thinner, which means that 16% more m² can be transported on each truck. However, each truck load is heavier overall due to the additional quantity. As more corrugated board can be transported on each truck, fewer trips are required overall to transport the same amount of corrugated board. 1 in 7 truck journeys can be saved. You can find more information about this under Next Generation Products.
