In this episode, we welcome Ron Puvak, Executive Director of the Contract Packaging Association (CPA) of North America, who shares his extensive knowledge of the role of co-packers and manufacturers within the value chain. Together, we explore a wide range of topics related to the packaging industry. No questions are left unanswered when it comes to co-packing, international markets, and current developments in the offshoring and onshoring of production sites. Furthermore, we discuss the balance of power between co-packers, manufacturers, and retailers, as well as their influence on the design of modern supply and value chains.

Naturally, we also address the core theme of our podcast: sustainability. Ron provides fascinating insights into how sustainable strategies are transforming the industry and the challenges and opportunities this creates for all stakeholders. Look forward to an informative episode with valuable insights into global market structures, packaging processes, and sustainable developments throughout the entire value chain.
