Three reasons to choose Sweden

• Advanced packaging solutions
• Pioneer in fiber-based materials development
• Integrated packaging R&D network

Excellence in packaging technology

As one of the world’s largest paper and pulp producing nations, Sweden offers specialist skill in fiber-based packaging. Extensive research efforts are devoted to the development of new materials, particularly fiber composites and other renewables, such as starch, gluten and xylan.

Thriving R&D and test environments

R&D and test environments allow foreign companies the opportunity to develop new packaging materials and test their performance in printing. Several locations offer pilot machine operation in process scale 1:1 and various centers of excellence are open to collaborative projects with foreign companies. An area of particular interest is printed electronics, regarded as a key technology for the development of intelligent packaging.

Ideal base to gain consumer insight

Consumer research is carried out at industrial research institutes, universities and through collaborations between research and academic partners. Sweden’s trend-sensitive and demanding consumers offer high suitability for end user tests at sophisticated consumer test labs and for new product launches.
