Strategy and competitive advantages
Among the competitive advantages of PackSynergy are not only an international supplier portfolio and a Europe-wide sales platform but also the effective exchange of experience among international members and the vibrant community within the network, emphasizes CEO Baur.
"Especially in today’s economically challenging times, networks are showing their real strengths. In an era where exchange, strategic cooperation, and joint value creation are gaining increasing importance, our model hits the mark. Thanks to professionally managed structures, individual companies benefit from a knowledge edge and group advantages.”
PackSynergy pursues a sustainable growth strategy – with the goal of having a presence in every European country. Baur: “In doing so, we ensure that new members bring the right mindset and that the spirit of cooperation is embedded in their corporate strategy. This creates the foundation for meaningful collaboration.” The continued strong interest in the successful network clearly shows that the alliance, as a network brand for medium-sized packaging wholesalers across Europe, represents an important competitive advantage – especially in times of increasing market consolidation.
