Digitalization and sustainability pose challenges for virtually every industry, but for paper and packaging companies the issues cut both ways. Digitalization, for example, has significantly cut demand for newsprint, magazine and office paper, but also presents enormous opportunities to improve operations, facilitate e-commerce, and even create new forms of “smart” packaging. Flexible and rigid plastic and metals packaging present both opportunities and challenges, as does an intense focus on sustainability: companies in the beverages, food, durables, pharma, and industrial packaging subsectors are intensely focused on renewable and recyclable materials, circularity, emissions reductions and a range of related issues.

We work with companies across the full spectrum of paper and packaging, helping them develop future-proof strategies, pursue cost and capital efficiencies, and employ a range of automation and digitalization technologies to optimize every facet of their operations. We also bring deep expertise in M&A, organizational design, process control, portfolio transformation, and other disciplines. We understand the specific challenges of the developing world as well as the issues that dominate mature markets. No matter what your category, we can help you enhance every facet of your organization to thrive amid intense change.
