Stora Enso named Most Innovative Supplier by Husqvarna
The Husqvarna Group recently named Stora Enso its most innovative supplier. Stora Enso supplies corrugated packaging to Husqvarna and received the prestigious Innovation Award during its annual event for suppliers. Stora Enso’s achievements include producing Cone Box, a new, innovative packaging solution for Husqvarna’s chainsaws.
In addition to its unique design, Cone Box has reinforced protection for the guide bar.
The new packaging solution saves on transportation costs, reduces complaints and is a winner for the environment. Cone Box has enabled Husqvarna to:
- increase fill capacity with 37%
- decrease the number of pallets by 5,300
- decrease the number of containers by 180
- reduce CO2 emissions by 190 tonnes
In its citation for the award, Husqvarna mentioned that Stora Enso invests for the long term in competence, resources and proactive involvement in order to understand its customers’ needs. Through this initiative, Stora Enso has enabled Husqvarna to sustainably achieve its ambitious goals concerning development and innovations in the supply chain.
