Smurfit Kappa a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has won several awards in the  Americas for innovation, expertise in supply chain efficiency and design excellence. 

Strategic Supplier Innovation Award  

The company was honoured with the 2023 Strategic Supplier Innovation Award from the Chamberlain  Group (CG), a recognition of its efforts to improve supply chain efficiency through groundbreaking  technologies and sustainable packaging solutions. Smurfit Kappa’s investment in cutting-edge  technology, along with its 1000 designers worldwide, enables the creation of customised packaging  solutions that showcase customers’ products in the best way alongside advancing their sustainability  achievements. 

Five Design Awards 

Smurfit Kappa also had success at the 42nd Convention of the Corrugated Association of The Caribbean,  Central and South America (ACCCSA), where it distinguished itself among its peers in the Design and  Booth Competition by securing five prestigious awards. One of the award-winning designs was for the  eco-conscious fashion brand Guadalupe Design which needed a sustainable eCommerce solution that  would convey the beauty of its products. The design team in Colombia produced a vibrant pack with  stand-out print and innovative locking mechanism which can then be repurposed into a storage box. 

Laurent Sellier, CEO of Smurfit Kappa Americas, said: “We are proud to have a talented and  hardworking design team that consistently produces creative and sustainable packaging solutions that  align with the needs of our customers and evolving market trends. Awards like these provide a great  opportunity to tap into our creative spirit and push the boundaries of what packaging can do. We look  forward to building on this success and continuing to be a strategic partner for our customers in the  Americas as we shape the future of supply chain excellence.”
