Flairosol, a refillable spray package that delivers
very fine mist without making more waste

Generally, spray packages are divided into two types; the pressurized package that provides fine mist but is a single–used container and the pumping package which can be refilled but the mist is not as delicate as that of the first one.

Therefore, SCGP introduces Flairosol, an exclusive agent by Conimex. This spray package responds to the need for a spray bottle that is reusable, well–designed, user–friendly and environmentally friendly and, at the same time, delivers an ultra–fine mist.

Flairosol, an exclusive agent by Conimex, is an innovative spray package. This refill container is convenient and easy to use, giving high–quality mist that can spread evenly on various types of surfaces across a wide range of applications: for household use, personal care, pet care, plant care, and car care etc.

The spray dispenser is unique and different. Its non–pressurized container gives the finest nano mist and is reusable, helping to reduce resource consumption.
It delivers continuous and consistent fine mist that covers the surface evenly, with liquid output of 1.20 cc (+/- 0.20 cc) per one spraying at the duration of 1.05 seconds +/- 0.2 seconds.
It is easy to use—simply turn the spray nozzle open and refill the solution. No battery or charger is needed.
It can contain several kinds of liquid such as mineral water, air or fabric freshener, liquid cleaner, including alcohol–containing liquid, but it is not suitable for a solution with high–concentration of oil.
It is safe. Because of its non–pressurized container, there are no propellant gases that can be easily flammable if leaked.
There are two sizes for selection: 160ml and 300ml. suitable for a variety of applications.

SCGP innovates food packaging to satisfy consumer lifestyles Introducing OptiBreath® to keep freshness and Odor LockTM to lock in food aromas

Loading Data...

May 24, 2021

SCGP has been engaging in research and development of innovative food packaging that keeps up with new lifestyles, tackles storage problems and increases conveniences for customers and consumers. Two new innovative packagings from SCGP to usher in the season of fruits are: OptiBreath® to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, and Odor LockTM, made from special plastics, to lock in aromas of food and fruits and prevent condensation when stored in the refrigerator.

SCGP understands the importance of sustained research and development to innovate solutions that respond to various needs and solve problems for customers and consumers as well as add value to products and enhance life conveniences. Some of these include food packaging that needs not be cut open before being heated in a microwave oven or packaging cover that can be easily peeled off. Such attention to R&D demonstrates the company’s leadership in integrated product innovations in ASEAN.

Most recently, SCGP has researched and developed new and innovative food packaging capable of prolonging the freshness of fruits and vegetables. OptiBreath® keeps fruits and vegetables fresh longer by controlling the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside and outside the packaging at an appropriate level to reduce the growth of microorganisms so as to maintain the quality of produce, their freshness, nutritional values, and natural flavors. Vegetables can be kept fresh longer by 3-5 days and fruits by 7-11 days, thus helping to reduce storage costs and increase opportunities for upcountry and overseas sales, which require longer time for delivery.

Introduced at the same time is Odor LockTM, an innovative packaging that locks in strong aromas of food or fruits. It is made from a special type of plastics which prevents the smell of food, such as durian, chili paste, and salted fish, from seeping out. It is designed for consumers who want to keep strong-smelling food in the same package. Options include three-sided seal bags and pleated bags, made to be sealed easily with heat but also kept in cold storage or ice with no problems of leakage. They may be refrigerated without causing condensation within, therefore helping to preserve food flavors.

Both innovative packagings could solve problems and enhance usage for customers and consumers. By prolonging the freshness of fruits and vegetables and locking in food aromas, they respond to the needs of fruit and vegetable sellers, who will be able to deliver their produce to distant destinations and thus add value to their products.

PHOENIX LAVA ซาลาเปาแห่งการให้ ใส่ใจทุกประสบการณ์ของลูกค้า 1

จากเทรนด์ “ซาลาเปาลาวา” ที่เกิดขึ้นในฮ่องกง เป็นจุดเริ่มต้นที่ทำให้คุณปริญญ์ สุขสมิทธิ์ เจ้าของและผู้ก่อตั้งร้าน “Phoenix Lava” เกิดแนวคิดและแรงบันดาลใจที่จะทำซาลาเปาแบรนด์ของคนไทย และตั้งเป้าเปิดสาขาทั้งในไทยและต่างประเทศ รวมถึงขยายแฟรนไชส์ในภูมิภาคเอเชีย

ทำไมถึงต้อง Phoenix Lava

คุณปริญญ์ สุขสมิทธิ์ เริ่มต้นเล่าที่มาของซาลาเปา Phoenix Lava ด้วยการพาเราย้อนไปสมัยที่เขาและน้องชายยังทำงานอยู่ที่ประเทศญี่ปุ่น พวกเขาใช้เวลาว่างจากการทำงานปรับสูตรซาลาเปาร่วมกัน รวมถึงศึกษาตลาดของประเทศไทยไปพร้อมกัน

หลังจากศึกษาก็พบว่า คนส่วนใหญ่มักซื้อซาลาเปาไปเป็นของฝากเป็นของว่างในงานจัดประชุม เป็นชุด Snack Box สำหรับงานจัดเลี้ยง ฯลฯ ควบคู่ไปกับการลงพื้นที่สำรวจร้านซาลาเปากว่า 300 ร้านในกรุงเทพฯ ทำให้เขาตัดสินใจวางจุดยืนให้กับแบรนด์ด้วยการเป็น “ซาลาเปาแห่งการให้” ภายใต้ชื่อแบรนด์ “Phoenix Lava” สื่อถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงของวงการ ซาลาเปาด้วยนก Phoenix แสดงถึงการเปลี่ยนแปลงและสิ่งใหม่ ๆ

“ผมโชคดีที่น้องชายและทีมมีความรู้ด้าน Food Science เราจึงเริ่มต้นจากการทำซาลาเปาลาวาก่อน ต่อมาก็ได้ทำติ่มซำเพิ่ม เพราะถือเป็นอาหารชุดเดียวกับซาลาเปา ก่อนที่จะพัฒนาสินค้าเพื่อตอบโจทย์ผู้บริโภคมากขึ้นเช่น ซาลาเปาที่พร้อมอุ่นทานในไมโครเวฟ”

ปัจจุบันร้าน Phoenix Lava มีสาขาในประเทศ 7 สาขา แฟรนไชส์3 สาขา และในต่างประเทศอีก 2 สาขา ที่มาเก๊า ประเทศจีน

ใส่ใจในแพคเกจจิ้ง

นอกจากพิถีพิถันเรื่องการคัดเลือกวัตถุดิบเพื่อให้ได้รสชาติซาลาเปาที่ดีที่สุดแล้ว Phoenix Lava ยังให้ความสำคัญกับการออกแบบบรรจุภัณฑ์เพื่อสร้างเอกลักษณ์และการจดจำแบรนด์ด้วย ตั้งแต่การเลือกใช้สีเหลืองใช้กล่องที่มีขนาดความยาว 37.5 เซนติเมตรเพื่อให้ใส่ตู้เย็นได้พอดี ติดสติกเกอร์ระบุรสชาติซาลาเปาไว้ที่ด้านหลังซอง เรียกว่าใส่ใจในทุกรายละเอียดเพื่อสร้างประสบการณ์ที่ดีให้แก่ลูกค้า

นอกจากนี้ ยังคำนึงถึงการส่งมอบสินค้าและบริการ เพื่อคงคุณภาพสินค้าเช่นเดียวกับการมาซื้อที่หน้าร้าน โดยบริการส่งสินค้าจะเน้นความรวดเร็วและมีค่าบริการที่คุ้มค่าที่สุด

โควิด-19 ดันยอดพุ่ง

จากสถานการณ์โรคระบาดโควิด-19 สาขาของ Phoenix Lava ที่อยู่ในห้างสรรพสินค้าต้องปิดทำการไป 4 สาขา เพื่อปรับตัวให้ทันต่อสถานการณ์ และเพื่อสร้างยอดขายให้กลับมา เขาจึงใช้วิธีเปิดสาขาขึ้นมาทดแทนด้วยการควบคุมต้นทุนอย่างเข้มงวด

ทางเลือกที่ได้คือการเช่าพื้นที่ในโซนที่ยังไม่มีสาขา และเช่าอาคารพาณิชย์ เพื่อทำเป็น Cloud Kitchen เพื่อกระตุ้นยอดขาย Delivery ซึ่งในปัจจุบัน Phoenix Lava มีสัดส่วน Delivery มากถึง 45 เปอร์เซ็นต์ การมีหน้าร้านในโลเกชั่นที่มีคนผ่านเยอะอาจไม่ใช่คำตอบสุดท้ายอีกต่อไป เมื่อเทียบกับการมีหน้าร้านในทำเลที่ค่าเช่าพื้นที่ถูกลง สร้างยอดขายหน้าร้านได้ระดับหนึ่ง แต่สามารถ Delivery ให้ลูกค้าในโซนนั้น ๆ ได้อย่างกว้างขวางกว่า

เป้าหมายของการทำธุรกิจในปีนี้ คือ การช่วยให้ลูกค้าในพื้นที่กรุงเทพฯ และปริมณฑลสามารถสั่งซื้อ Phoenix Lava ด้วยค่าส่งเพียง 10 บาท และขยายจุดส่งที่เป็น Cloud Kitchen เพิ่มขึ้น ก่อนที่ในปี 2564 จะขยายแฟรนไชส์ออกไปยังจังหวัดต่าง ๆ เช่น ชลบุรี ระยอง จันทบุรี เป็นต้น

EzySteam™ อีกหนึ่งความใส่ใจ เพื่อแก้ไข Pain Point

คุณปริญญ์เล่าให้ฟังถึงจุดเริ่มต้นในการพัฒนาบรรจุภัณฑ์ร่วมกับเอสซีจี แพคเกจจิ้งว่าเขาและทีมวิจัยของเอสซีจี แพคเกจจิ้งมีแนวคิดที่ตรงกัน คือต้องการพัฒนานวัตกรรมเพื่อแก้ปัญหาให้ลูกค้า โจทย์แรกคือการทำถุงบรรจุซาลาเปาเพื่อให้ลูกค้านำไปอุ่นในไมโครเวฟได้ โดยยังคงรสชาติเหมือนการนึ่งด้วยไอน้ำ เพราะลูกค้าบางกลุ่มเน้นความสะดวกและรวดเร็ว

“การพัฒนา EzySteam™ ใช้ระยะเวลาประมาณ 6 เดือน กว่าจะเป็นถุง EzySteam™ ที่ใช้งานได้ดีอย่างทุกวันนี้ต้องผ่านการพัฒนากันมาถึงเวอร์ชั่นที่ 3 และเอสซีจี แพคเกจจิ้งยังคงติดตามผลการใช้งานอย่างต่อเนื่อง ทำให้เห็นถึงความพยายามของทีม ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่ผมชื่นชมอย่างมาก”

นอกจาก EzySteam™ แล้ว Phoenix Lava ยังใช้บริการ Dezpaxในการสั่งซื้อบรรจุภัณฑ์ที่มีบริการออกแบบ Custom ได้ในราคาที่เหมาะสมและยังมีสินค้าให้เลือกหลากหลาย ทุกวันนี้บรรจุภัณฑ์สินค้าใหม่ของPhoenix Lava ใช้บริการ Dezpax แทบทั้งสิ้น

สร้างรายได้จากสิ่งที่มี

“ผู้ประกอบการเอสเอ็มอี ควรสร้างรายได้จากสิ่งที่มีก่อน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นสินทรัพย์หรือทักษะความสามารถ ขณะเดียวกันต้องไม่เพิ่มค่าใช้จ่าย และทดลองทำสิ่งใหม่ ๆ ให้หลากหลาย

“ผมมองว่าคนที่ผ่านวิกฤติมาได้จะก้าวไปได้ไกล ช่วงเวลานี้จึงถือเป็นโอกาสของธุรกิจขนาดเล็กหรือเอสเอ็มอีที่จะเติบโต ขอเพียงแค่ปรับตัวให้รวดเร็วและรับมือกับวิถี New Normal ให้ทันท่วงที ความสำเร็จก็เกิดขึ้นได้ไม่ยากขอเป็นกำลังใจให้กับทุกคนครับ”

Odor Lock packaging is an odor proof plastic bag made from special grade material with an odor locking power that can prevent unwanted smell from permeating outside the bag. It is perfectly suitable for storing odorous food such as durians, fermented fish, dried or salted seafood, red shallots, garlic, chili paste, and animal feeds. The product ensures that the strong smell of the food is kept inside the bag and will not be a disturbance during your traveling or transportation. Odor Lock also helps reduce the storage problem because, with this odor proof packaging, you can store several kinds of odorous food in the same place.

Smell proof Odor Lock packaging comes with 2 selections: a 3-side-seal bag or a center-seal-side gusset bag. It can be used in many applications and serves different needs. The bag can be easily heat sealed, which increases hygiene and reduce concerns about food safety and contamination. In addition, Odor Lock bags come in a user-friendly size of 23 x 45 x 12. cm. One bag can contain 1 kilogram of durian, approximately 3-4 seeds.

Odor Lock packaging can prevent the durian odor and from pervading outside the container. You can carry the durian you bought back home without worrying about its smell. The Odor Lock bag also keeps the durian fresh by preserving its flavor and soft texture.

With well-designed features, Odor Lock packaging can be refrigerated or frozen without worrying about water seepage. The bag can be stored in the refrigerator with no condensation, so the food contained can retain its quality, flavor, and texture. Nonetheless, the food should be opened for consumption within 7 hours so that you can taste its actual flavor as if it was freshly cooked or bought.

Please call 065-651-6953 for more information.

May 12, 2021

SCGP is accelerating investment plans to grow its foodservice packaging operations in anticipation of consumer megatrend. Production of pressboard foodservice packaging and molded pulp packaging will see capacity boosted by an additional 1,838 million pieces a year. These projects aiming at expanding overseas markets require 631 million baht of investment.

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reports that, according to the Company’s assessment, demands for foodservice packaging continue to stay on the upward trend as a result of changing consumer lifestyles as take outs and home delivery through various apps have become a megatrend that will contribute positively to the growth of foodservice packaging businesses.The overall outlook for foodservice business in ASEAN between 2021 and 2024 is poised to grow by an average of 6-7% a year.

Consequently, SCGP has been expanding its foodservice packaging production in recent years in response to rising consumer demands and changing lifestyles. Operations in Thailand and Malaysia have subsequently grown to meet demands in ASEAN and Japan, while recent acquisition of Go-Pak UK Limited (Go-Pak) enhances ability to expand its customer base globally.

Most recently, SCGP is proceeding with its investment in two new projects in a move to boost the growth of its foodservice packaging operations. Production capacities for pressboard foodservice packaging in Ratchaburi plant and the Binh Duong plant in Vietnam will be boosted by 1,615 pieces a year. Commercial startup is expected to be in the 3rd quarter of 2021.

At the same time, investment has also gone into expanding the production capacity for molded pulp packaging by 223 million pieces a year in Kanchanaburi plant, where commercial startup is expected to be in the 2nd quarter of 2022. Investment for both projects is 631 million baht, which will boost production capacities in response to market expansion and growth in demands for foodservice packaging, especially in overseas markets.

“After accomplishing our expansion plans, we expect our annual revenue to increase by 35% as the result of the increased production capacities from the current foodservice packaging operations in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam combined, which will contribute to our sustained growth in ASEAN and beyond.” says Mr. Wichan.

SCGP tops up its success in Indonesia, expands investment portfolio in downstream packaging in Intan Group as demands in ASEAN grow

SCGP continues to grow its packaging investment in Indonesia as it’s poised to purchase 75% of the Intan Group, a major producer of corrugated containers with established bases in four strategic locations. The deal extends the Company’s earlier success in packaging paper investment, boosting its potential and firming up its integrated packaging business operations.

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reveals that the Company’s strategy is to expand in the ASEAN region to boost its integrated packaging business by increasing regional market coverage. He says the expansion in the corrugated containers will be beneficial to SCGP’s integrated packaging businesses encompassing both the operations as well as its aim to expand customer base in the region.

With a population of more than 270 million, Indonesia is brimming with potentials. Since 2013 SCGP has launched a sustained growth strategy in Indonesia through five companies, including Fajar, DAP (a Fajar subsidiary), PTPM, INDOCORR and INDORIS. The assets include two corrugated containers manufacturing plants, a printing house for corrugated containers, and two packaging paper manufacturing plants. In 2020 the five firms generated 17,577 million Baht in sales in Indonesia, equivalent to 18.94% of SCGP’s total sales.

Having invested in the five Indonesian companies, SCGP has become their partners in expanding businesses, exchanging expertise, and engaging in mutually beneficial activities, such as reducing financial costs, and increasing production efficiency. In April 2021, SCGP has started up in a new production facility to increase packaging paper capacity of Fajar.

Furthermore, SCGP has worked closely with PTPM, INDOCORR and INDORIS, packaging subsidiaries, leading to technological exchanges, increases in production capacity, cost reduction, waste minimization, IT system improvements, and introduction of SCGP’s innovative Lightweight G Technology in the packaging production system.

The SCGP CEO adds that the Company recently has expanded its investment portfolio in Indonesia. It has signed a share purchase agreement on May 10, 2021, to acquire 75% stake of PT Indonesia Dirtajaya Aneka Industri Box, PT Bahana Buana Box and PT Rapipack Asritama, collectively called the Intan Group. The deal was undertaken through TCG Solutions Pte. Ltd. in SCGP. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the middle of 2021.

Intan Group is one of Indonesia’s manufacturers of corrugated containers. It operates in four strategically important areas, namely, Surabaya, Semarang, Bekasi, and Minahasa. Its customer base encompasses both multinational and domestic producers of food and beverages and consumer goods. In 2020 Intan Group generated revenues of 1,329 billion rupiahs (approximately 92 million US dollars or 3,057 million Baht).

This round of investment in Indonesia is aimed at responding to anticipated growth in the ASEAN region as well as strengthen the Company’s ability to provide a larger variety of products. It will promote a symbiotic relationship between SCGP and the companies in which it has invested.

Moreover, the Company will be able to offer a diverse variety of products as well as integrated packaging solutions that can fulfill the different needs of individual customers. At the same time, it will be able to develop innovative products to add values and enhance the Company’s position as the leading provider of integrated packaging solutions in ASEAN.

Sixty-two organizations join forces to launch a project –“United to Fight Against Covid: Transform Used Paper Into SCGP Paper Field Hospital Bed” — to campaign for consumers to care for the environment and become a part of the project by sending used paper boxes for recycling and reuse in accordance with the Circular Economy. Committed to helping society during the current Covid-19 pandemic, the organizations open collection centers of used paper boxes to be recycled into SCGP paper field hospital bed for distribution to those in need throughout the country.

Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, reports that the company has engaged in a cooperative effort as one of 62 organizations in launching the “United to Fight Against Covid: Transform Used Paper Into SCGP Paper Field Hospital Beds” project in a campaign to encourage consumers to take good care of the environment.

The project aims to educate and create an understanding about using and managing leftover paper materials in order to bring them back for reuse. This includes recycling the materials into “SCGP paper field hospital beds”, a creative design for social innovation, which has been developed to help those afflicted with Covid-19 and to support the work of health personnel. Collection of the materials is slated to take place from April 28 to May 31.

“The new Covid-19 outbreak has created a shortage of hospital beds and led to the setting up of field hospitals in various localities, and as a result created a need for large numbers of field beds. For this reason, SCGP has designed ‘SCGP paper field hospital bed’ made of 100% recycled paper that weighs only 14 kilograms and can be easily and rapidly assembled and installed. The bed can bear the horizontal weight of 100 kg.

“However, a constant demand has led to 62 organizations joining hands to set up stations to collect used paper boxes for recycling into SCGP paper field hospital beds,” says Mr. Wichan. Any person wishing to participate in this project may deposit their used or disused paper boxes at collection stations set up by all 62 participating partners. SCGP will collect them to be recycled and produced as SCGP paper field hospital beds for distribution to those who need them.

“SCGP wishes to thank cooperative efforts by all organizations and people who lend their support to the project to help fellow Thais to overcome this challenge together. Moreover, we are helping to conserve the environment by recycling a resource for reuse and to create the utmost good.

JOSHUA PAS : Making it 1% better each day
is exciting enough!

Loading Data...

April 29, 2021

บทสัมภาษณ์ที่คุณกำลังจะได้อ่านจะทำให้คุณรู้จักดร.จาชซัว แพส Global Foodservice Packaging Head, SCGP ผู้บริหารรุ่นใหม่มากความสามารถคนนี้ดียิ่งขึ้น เพราะทั้งประสบการณ์ แนวคิดในการทำงานรวมถึงมุมมองการใช้ชีวิตที่ถูกสะท้อนผ่านทุกตัวอักษรในทุกบรรกัดต่อจากนี้ เราบอกเลยว่า “ไม่ธรรมดา” ยิ่งถ้าได้ลองเอาแนวคิดต่าง ๆ ไปปรับใช้ แม้ผลลัพธ์จากการเปลี่ยนแปลงจะน้อยนิดเพียงแค่วันละ1 เปอร์เซ็นต์ แต่ด้วยตัวเลขเท่านี้นี่แหละ ก็ช่วยให้ชีวิตพัฒนาขึ้นอย่าง So Excited แล้ว!

Invest in experiences

Growing up overseas, Dr. Pas worked part time during his university years. It was quite normal for university students to work and study at the same time in western culture, after all.

Dr. Pas had built a great 16-year career in the United States. For example, he used to work for Bose Corporation in Boston and also Intel of Silicon Valley. He had already developed Data Analytics skills and mastered in Supply Chain management before joining Thailand’s SCG in 2013. “SCG initially assigned me to handle Digital Transformation. Serving as CDO (Chief Digital Officer), I was also in charge of AddVentures that focuses on investments and finance, as well as ZERO TO ONE or SCG’s Startup Studio. At the end of last year, I took up the post of SCGP’s Global Foodservice Packaging Head,” he said.

Understand the mode

Dr. Pas emphasized that understanding and efficiently managing each work mode was necessary.

“In execution mode, everything must be accurate. But in exploration mode, you must be able to accept less-than-100% performance. Improvement and Test-and-Learn during exploration are understandable,” he pointed out.

In his view, forming several small teams will encourage agility. Members in each team should have different age, gender and expertise. The greater the diversity, the better. When they get together, work ambience will be good. They will want to hear what other team members will say. They can inspire each other all the time. On performance evaluation, Dr. Joshua places an emphasis on OKRs (Objectives & Key Results). Simply put, OKRs presents both short-term and long-term key performance indicators (KPIs). Team members will know what they have to do this week and this year. “Project Management is also very important. It is not too complicated either. Just communicate and collaborate. Do what we are good at. Recruit others’ help for tasks they do better,” he explained.

Grow the top line

Asked about Merger and Partnership (M&P), Dr. Joshua believes it represents a good challenge whereby one can learn about different culture and consumer behaviors.

“M&P reflects that we look for a partner. We do not think that we have bought a business. We let our partner keep doing what it is good at. We step in only where our contribution is useful. M&P aims to grow the top line. It therefore must place a strong emphasis on Integration and Synergy Project. We may introduce our Thai business models to Europe or US. Or, we may apply what we have seen there to Thai market,” this executive explained. “Europeans and Americans are different from Thais in some ways. So, we must determine what parts we can apply. By the way, on the overall, I am very excited about what we will be able to do without partners,” he added.

At SCGP, everyone is important

Just as the interview was coming to a close, P-DNA asked Dr. Joshua about SCGP’s sustainable growth. “Everyone at SCGP is an important mechanism. So, ‘Do the Best You Can!’. If possible, act like you own SCGP businesses. Last but not least, have fun and enjoy the challenges!”, he concluded.

4 Ways to Improve Yourself

Read

“I like reading articles, including academic stuff. Read what is in our field so that we know what are cool. Read content in other fields to expand our horizons.”

Mentor

“It is really great to have a mentor, who doesn’t need to be your supervisor or respected senior.

To get a mentor, you may just walk toward the person you admire and ask, ‘Could we eat together once a month?'”

Can-do

“If you want to do something, say so. Don’t be afraid! When you take up a project, someone will be by your side and help you. They won’t let you fail badly”.

Small change add up really fast

“A former supervisor taught me this concept. If you do better by just 1% each day, you will do 38 times better in just one year.”
