3PL’s expanded offering delivers retail-ready packaging and displays, labeling, compliance and more

Kenco, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, today announced the official launch of their Contract Packaging Division, a strategic investment covering secondary packaging. This expansion of the company’s contract packaging offering will further simplify customers’ operations and strengthen Kenco’s position as a one-stop shop for supply chain management.

Rob Doyle, Group Vice President, will lead the division. His team brings a combined 100+ years of packaging expertise to Kenco. The division will focus on helping customers adopt lean methodologies and real-time data insights to optimize packaging operations and reduce costs. In addition, the team will help automate and streamline processes to enhance performance and minimize waste. Smart packaging solutions will also be used to reduce customers’ environmental footprints.

“Everything we do at Kenco is designed to make our customers’ supply chains more efficient. This new division will provide users the right packaging to make their products pop on the shelves while cutting costs and improving sustainability,” Doyle said.

New and existing Kenco customers can engage the contract packaging team for projects including:

Retail-ready packaging and displays – custom-packed assortments for retail distribution, ready-to-sell point-of-purchase displays, pre-packaged components for retail shelves

Assembly, fulfillment and e-commerce – automated & manual assembly, multipack product bundling for promotions, and product modifications and corrections

Promotional and specialty packaging – secure and clear packaging for retail displays, premium protective wrapping for retail appeal, and tight and protective film application

Labeling and compliance – customer and regulatory-compliant labeling, and specialized solutions for bottled and canned products

Process optimization and continuous improvement – tailored solutions to meet unique needs and ongoing enhancements for efficiency and quality

“Kenco’s customers have long counted our comprehensive range of 3PL capabilities as one of our key differentiators, and today we’ve made our offerings even stronger,” said Denis Reilly, CEO at Kenco. “Customers no longer need a separate step in their supply chain to package durable goods – we’ve streamlined packaging, so customers can streamline their operations.”

Contract packaging capabilities are now available for all Kenco customers. For more information, visit www.kencogroup.com/solutions/contract-packaging/.
