The winning team
Packaging material and machinery supplier Raja announces winning the German Packaging Award, which Raja won at this year's FachPack in Nuremberg among almost 250 entries from 13 countries in the Logistics and Material Flow category for one of its new products, a "Grip Taper".
Raja was present with a 120 m² stand in Hall 3A and, in addition to its well-known range of packaging solutions for business, office and warehouse equipment, offered informative highlights on future-oriented topics such as circular economy, packaging process optimization and digitalization of purchasing processes using e-business solutions.
Stand at FachPack
The "Grip Taper" is a portable wet-activated tape dispenser that can be used as a handheld or desktop device. Visitors to the trade fair booth were able to examine and extensively test the award-winning packaging solution.
Also new at FachPack was the Women4Packaging get-together, which provided women from the packaging industry with the opportunity to exchange ideas and network. Tanja Burger, Divisional Director of Marketing at Raja Germany, was one of the approximately 150 participants. "It's an exciting new event format. As an employee of a company group founded by a woman in 1954 and still led by her today, many women hold key positions within our group. Our social commitment also focuses on this. The exchange was very inspiring, and I hope to continue discussing industry trends, challenges, and topics in the future."
