www.packagingdatabase.com, the eagerly-awaited database on the entire European packaging industry, went live on 8^th April.
 
With detailed information on more than 50,000 companies in all sectors of the packaging industry and in all 50 countries of Europe, www.packagingdatabase.com is set to revolutionise procurement and communication processes throughout the global industry.
 
Two and a half years in the making, this uniquely comprehensive database makes information available in seconds to both consumers and producers of packaging and its extraordinary complexity of detail and multi-level search programme enables users to precisely target their packaging requirements. And the system’s bulk e-mailing service means that they can contact every company in their search result with a single message.
 
A three-volume 6,000 page European Packaging Directory will also be available in April, containing information on all the companies in the on-line database.
 
“There is already a lot of excitement in the industry about this radical new service not just in Europe but among users and producers of packaging right across the world,” says Tim Sykes, Operations Manager at Packaging Europe. ”We are looking forward to meeting the global demand for information even more comprehensively when we extend the database to take in packaging companies in Asia and the Americas later this year.”
