Product Innovation Center

For many years our customers have asked us to help them develop customer friendly products that help maintain market share. We often start with a drawing and a product sample.

Our Product Innovation Center is totally focused on product life cycle so we often do proof of concept pouches and our 3D capabilities are available for this part of the test process. A full report and video forms part of the final discussion.

Our three divisions run on the ability to use the strengths in each group and they have a lean DNA approach to reporting usable results learned from the tests conducted throughout the plant. This hands-on approach helps reduce the time to market for our customers while retaining flexibility and the quality ratio they need to remain profitable.

We are the true definition of a "one stop shop". By being able to source pouches or materials from our many converter vendors in our supply pipeline, to offering the exact machinery needed for the project from our PGS Machinery division and in some cases even packing the product for the initial market test in our on-site Penta 5 Redi-2-PaQ™ division. Every customer is offered our innovative IZipline NFC tagz program where the consumer who bought the product can be monitored. The benefits of this futuristic approach to monitoring buying habits of customers will become the norm in the next few years. Imagine how recalls can be easily handled, coupon offerings strictly controlled and shopping habits identified with the tagz.

Another welcome benefit we offer is the ability to take our customers product internationally through our global distribution chain. Small boutique type products can be big international winners using the services we offer.

We note that the race to implement new ideas and release new products is increasing and so the future looks bright for our Product Innovation Center and its three laboratories. They will continue to be busy for a long time to come.
