A Burntwood packaging business has launched an initiative to help companies create more sustainable supply chains.
Lesters has created a new automotive division to work with customers and help them to reduce their carbon footprint through supply chain enhancements and the replacement of foam and plastics with alternative packaging.
Mark Aucott, the company’s automotive business manager, said advice would be on hand in areas such as design, sales, marketing and logistics.
“The sector is complex and requires a circular approach and that is where this new offer really comes into its own.
“From initial consultations and identifying different types of material to testing and tapping into our expansive prototyping capability.
“By employing this method, we’ve been able to help several of our automotive customers potentially reduce their supply chain costs by up to 25% – a saving that can run into the hundreds of thousands of pounds.”
