Lifecycle:1 Oct 2005 → Today
Organisation profile:Pack4Food npo is a multidisciplinary consortium
of Flemish research institutes and companies active in different sectors of
food packaging. Pack4Food was founded in October 2005 in the framework of the
IWT-TD-project 40576 “Innovation through food packaging”. It groups the
industrial stakeholders within food packaging: food producers, gas suppliers,
packaging producers (including printing companies), producers of filling
machines and retailers. Pack4Food aims on the one hand to stimulate innovation
in food packaging through collective research projects and on the other hand to
support companies in their daily packaging challenges. Pack4Food is the
intermediate link between the academic research world and the industry. It
facilitates networking between companies of different sectors to tackle
important food packaging challenges. In this way, Pack4Food forms a radar,
capturing signals from the broad workfield, also allowing to do partnermatching
in an efficient manner.
