ข่าว SCGP Updates Current Market Trends and Sustainable Packaging at ProPak Asia 2023 Press Conference Loading Data… SCGP took part in the ProPak Asia 2023 press conference, a platform that showcases industry products and technology related to manufacturing, processing, and packaging in Asia. Karan Tejasen, Chief Operating Officer of SCG Packaging Public Company Limited (SCGP) and the Chairman of Vexcel Pack Company Limited represented the private sector at the event, providing updates on packaging solution trends for marketing and sustainability. The press conference was held on Tuesday, 16 May 2023, at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit Hotel. Karan Tejasen discussed current packaging trends, noting that consumers are increasingly seeking packaging that not only meets their needs for convenience and versatility in use but also aligns with growing demands for environmentally friendly options. This shift in consumer behavior means that packaging designers and manufacturers must pay heightened attention to the presentation of their products. With an ambition to be a leader in total packaging solutions in the ASEAN, SCGP has emphasised developing packaging that meets these consumer needs by offering solutions that meet customer demands. The company believes that packaging serves not only to contain and protect products, but also to enhance marketing value, promote a positive image, and create a compelling experience for brand products. Furthermore, SCGP is focusing on the development of sustainable packaging. Examples include flexible packaging made from mono-material, which can be easily recycled, and packaging that incorporates recycled resins, as seen in rPET packaging for household items, shampoo, and dishwashing liquid. Another notable innovation is the OptiBreath® packaging, designed by SCGP to extend the shelf-life of products and thereby reduce food waste. This packaging has extended the shelf-life of fresh fruits and vegetables. For instance, customers have used the packaging to extend the shelf-life of polish coconuts from 30 days to 60 days and fresh whole coconuts from 60 days to 90 days. This has enabled customers to expand their fruit export markets, accommodating the long transportation times required for shipping. The packaging helps to enhance brand image and add marketing value to the products. “In developing sustainable packaging, manufacturers must consider the entire value chain, from design and reducing the use of raw materials, to ease of reuse or recycling, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and appropriate packaging and transportation steps. This also involves collaborating with customer networks to jointly develop packaging that fulfills consumer needs and takes care of the environment as a whole,” said Karan. ProPak Asia 2023 is an international industry product and technology exhibition for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods manufacturing, processing, and packaging. The event will be held from 14 to 17 June 2023 at the BITEC Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangna. เนื้อหาที่เกี่ยวข้อง Loading Data…

DR. ADISAK VORAKUNPINIJ – WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION COMES WITH LOVE
News DR. ADISAK VORAKUNPINIJ WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION COMES WITH LOVE Loading Data… Dr. Adisak Vorakunpini is Innovation and Product Development Director – SCGP. Influenced partly by CEO of SCGP Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee’s Work-Life Integration ideas, Dr. Adisak has today found that Work-Life Integration not only makes job more fun, but it also offers life inspiration in many aspects. MISSION: “EXPLORING NEW OPPORTUNITIES” FOR SCGP “I joined SCGP as an engineer for the Innovation and Product Development Center. I was in charge of paper development before receiving a corporate scholarship to pursue Master’s and Doctoral degrees in paper & pulp in the United States between 1997 and 2003. Upon my return, I was appointed an analyst at the Business Planning Division. That job was a turning point because it enabled me to see a bigger business picture. I learnt a lot from senior staffs and thus was able to look at investments from various perspectives. When I later returned to the center as a senior researcher, I brought along technical and business understanding. Now at the helm of the center. I have striven to ensure that our researches have greater commercial potential. “Our work is about exploring new business opportunities or identifying New S-Curve. We are entrusted with this mission because our team has solid capabilities, knowledge, expertise, and tools. SCGP can do much more than packaging. For example, eucalyptus plantations, herbal farming, and extracting Cordyceps for dietary-supplement production. We are confident that SCGP will be able to develop many more new businesses in the future. “After getting an assignment, we identify goals and draw up innovation & product development plans. Everyone in the relevant department must see the same picture for plan and implementation. The plan must resonate with the SCGP’s vision and business opportunities. Senior executives will oversee the direction and help to allocate resources such as human resources and tools or to fine-tune clear targets from our plans.” UNDERSTANDING DIVERSITY & EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS “I used to supervise just a few subordinates. But as my team grows bigger and so do my work goals, I need to collaborate with many internal and external units. Communications therefore are extremely important. “Each customer has different needs. We need to be persuasive to ensure that customers understand the values of what we are doing for them. During SCGP’s ongoing overseas business expansions and increasing focus on specialized businesses, we need to communicate well too to clearly understand customers’ pain points. That’s how we can develop products and services that match their needs and importantly generate returns for our company as well. “I enjoy taking action because it leads to answers. When we do things, we will know where good points lie and where improvements are needed. People from different generations may have different traits. Gen Y and Gen Z have placed a stronger emphasis on Work-Life Balance when compared with people of the previous generations. So, I try to ensure they can maintain that balance. One of soft skills that I currently apply is empathizing people who work around me. I try to understand people and communicate effectively with them. We focus on goals. If there are obstacles, we address them together. Communications are made at both personal and group levels. But of course, one–on–one conversations usually make people open up more. I try to inspire and energize them. I allow them to unwind or take a break so that they can recharge themselves and come back with better energy. “On cross-function projects, I understand that each unit has different focus. So, when doing such projects, communication will make all sides see how important the project is and how it will benefit to SCGP and customers. Professional work with strong collaboration within SCGP, in my view, plays a big role in enhancing SCGP’s brand image as top-of-mind brand on a sustainable basis.” WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION “I may seem like a workaholic. But in fact, I just need to work harder because I take care dozens of staff. I always try to find time for myself and my family as well. “I always enjoy working and inspire to do my best. I always try to find new ideas and break away from routines. I have hardly had any low points. It’s just that I sometimes want to take a break to do my hobbies. I like gardening, which started during my OptiBreath project development. To develop this product that extends fresh produces’ shelf life, I talked to farmers and farm owners for data collection. I was very much into the things they do. Then, I have come up with my gardening hobby. “For me, getting jobs done needs two things. Firstly, we should have passion. That’s how we will be excited to go to work everyday. Secondly, we should be knowledge seekers. I don’t think I am good at everything. But I trust that we can build something from what we know and learn. We can create from what we have learned from others. Their ideas may induce our perspectives and boost our creativity. I can exchange viewpoints with team members or others for innovation development.” “Learning has no bounds. Today, we can access information easily. Specialists are also more willing to share their knowledge. So, if only we have the courage to learn new things, our field of knowledge can be very vast.” Related Contents Loading Data…
BAAN SOMTUM : FAMILY TIME, INSPIRED BUSINESS
ข่าว BAAN SOMTUM : FAMILY TIME, INSPIRED BUSINESS Loading Data… “Just like many other businesses, Baan Somtum has grown from a humble origin. We started off just as a small eatery inside two rowhouses. Before that, my mom discussed with family members about what to do next as she wanted to quit being an office worker. As our family usually enjoyed Isan food together, my mom decided to set up an Isan restaurant on Phutthamonthon Sai 2 Road in 2005. We have then gradually added more branches until we now have operated 11 outlets,” Mr. Peeranat said. Graduating and working in communication-design field, he recognized that he would need to play an entirely different role as soon as he jumped into his family’s restaurant business. Yet, he agreed to build further on what his mother had started. “Since my secondary-education years, I have seen two sides of things. One is about my passion and the other funds my passion. So, I decided to leave my job and help with my family’sbusiness. In the beginning, I focused on tasks matching my expertise, such as designing new menus and taking photos. I initially handled just Marketing and Sales. But over time,I have overseen everything,” Mr. Peeranat added. “My mom had already done a lot for Baan Somtum. What I need to do is just building up further success based on her foundation. In the beginning, we seemed to have different opinions. But we have already patched things up becauses the bottom line is that we have seen eye to eye about what will be good for our business.” BRINGING SPICY DELICIOUSNESS TO ALL CORNERS OF TOWN During Baan Somtum’s growth, it has beaten several challenges while being well focused on food quality. Therefore, it has managed to become a top-of-mind brand among urban consumers. “For example, just one year after we opened our first branch, road construction began in front of it. Then after we launched our Phra Nangklao branch in 2011, big floods struck. Things have fallen into place only after we opened our Sathon branch. Via that outlet, our brand becomes widely recognized among Bangkokians and foreigners,” Mr. Peeranat said. “Our strengths are easy-to-enjoy Isan dishes, pleasant decor that suits families, and consistent taste. No matter which of our branches you drop into, you get the same taste. We have a central kitchen to uphold quality and standard. “As the COVID-19 situation has eased and tourists have returned, we now consider opening more branches. To support our business expansion, we have paid attention to suppliers and farmers too. Without empowering the supply chain, some ingredients could become unavailable. Our supplier of traditionally-made Palmyra palm sugar once told us that supply could be exhausted because it was getting so difficult to find someone to climb high trees to collect palm fruit. So, we explored solutions together and successfully found the right innovation. To get quality ingredient and support mutual growth, we are willing to go that far.” PACKAGING SOLUTIONS “Baan Somtum has worked with SCGP since the time my aunt was in charge of procurements. After I stepped in, I too get impressed. SCGP listens to our pain points and develops tailor-made packaging for us,” Mr. Peeranat revealed. “For example, our box for snapper dishes is customized to fit our standard fish length of between 11 and 12 inches. Boxes available in the market are usually 10 inches long only. If we use the 10-inch box, we will have to cut the tail of the fish and the dish will not look as nice. “Thanks to SCGP, not only that we get the right length, but we also get a stronger and more efficient container to protect our fish item. SCGP intentionally adds extra durability and lid lock after hearing from us that such big boxes are usually put at the bottom in delivery vehicles. I am very happy with the box SCGP has produced. Today, food packaging is important because delivery sales now account for between 50 and 60 percent of our sales. Baan Somtum is looking forward to developing more things with SCGP because this partner has understood our hope to lower cost as well as environmental impacts. Such focus promises to ensure the sustainability of both our business and the environment.” เนื้อหาที่เกี่ยวข้อง Loading Data…
