Fruit Logistica’s main aim is to connect businesses in the fruit and vegetable sector. For participating South Africa enterprises like Mpact, it’s an opportunity to link international retailers with local growers. Building relationships downstream from Mpact’s customers is a way of ensuring retailers understand its quality and company values.

The event also offers an important opportunity to benchmark to world-class standards, ensuring Mpact’s customers are enabled to confidently send their produce around the world.

As a primary goal, Mpact could share its message that sustainability starts with packaging designed for the circular economy. It’s inter-company network, which includes 10 manufacturing plants and two world-class research facilities, allows Mpact to offer real insights into the recycling environment and help build solutions that consider packaging after-life.

Furthermore, owning its own paper mills means Mpact limits its footprint by utilising local paper. Its mindful manufacturing practices ensure that sustainability and impact remain foremost priorities – an approach consistently recognised through prestigious industry awards.

These very same principles are at the heart of Mpact Corrugated's Freshpact range, which was presented at Fruit Logistica. The paper-based inner packing for fruit and vegetables has been embraced by retailers and has enjoyed three successful export seasons. It was very well received at the show.
