OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Leading The Way

Since 2007 we’ve been at the forefront of creating bespoke packaging solutions. Working with the world’s foremost brands across the globe, we specialize in design, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution – offering you the complete package.

Re-writing the Rulebook

From day one, we’ve been market disruptors. In many ways, it’s been the golden thread running through our business, the reason we are where we are. But beyond that we’re also innovators, boundary pushers and packaging experts who champion sustainability at all costs.

Over 15 years ago we made a commitment to reduce the volume of toxic plastics in the waste stream through our packaging.

From that moment an opportunity to expand was identified. By taking the power out of the hands of the traditional contract manufacturers in the East, GPA Global was able to offer companies a unique experience.

One with more control, more choice and less margins. We saw an entire market shift off the back of our business model.

Today that same disruption is possible. With regional supply bases becoming a common feature across the Western world, the knowledge we accumulated in the East has put us in prime position to once again set a precedent to the rest of the industry. Whilst remaining a company who offers our clients a plethora of material options, expert design, logistical support, sustainable solutions and flexibility.

The GPA History
Timeline

When we began our journey in 2007, we made it our prerogative to bring a number of equally ambitious, best in class packaging companies into our team. From family-owned businesses with decades of experience, to specialists from across the sector, our growing family of experts are the reason we’ve been able to realise our ambitions.

That’s why we’ve always believed that an investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Since our first acquisition, through to today, it’s been patently clear that beyond the operations and facilities that are brought to the table, the knowledge, expertise, and culture of each company that joined our global team provides the real value.

With a legacy of packaging ownership of over one hundred years, our position at the forefront of global packaging has only been made possible by the organizations who, we can proudly say, have joined us along the way.

GPA

Back in 2007 we began our journey into the packaging world by ridding the waste stream of clamshell packaging and toxic plastics. From then Green Packaging Asia was born. The coming years saw our clients turn to us to solve more complex design, development, manufacturing and supply-chain challenges. And well, the rest is history.
