Dentsu Tracking teams up with AIPIA, Smart Packaging Industry Association

Sep 2, 2020

As global interest in traceability for food and beverages grows, Dentsu Tracking is proud to announce its new membership as a supplier in the AIPIA (Active and Intelligent Packaging Industry Association). The membership with AIPIA as of summer 2020 brings new opportunities to integrate traceability in future smart packaging for food, beverages, and the pharmaceutical industries, among others.
Benjamin Phelip, Sales Director, Dentsu Tracking, said:

“Supply chain traceability landscape in the FMCG and Beverages sector is booming due to evolving consumer behaviour and regulations. This new membership as part of AIPIA gives us an important opportunity to share knowledge across brands and industries.”

Eef de Ferante, Executive Director of AIPIA, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Dentsu Tracking to the Virtual Congress program. It is an important example of how Smart Packaging can address mass market needs both technically and cost effectively. We hope it will lead to more implementations on this scale.”

Dentsu Tracking is excited to accelerate this transformation on scale, building on the company’s Europe-wide solution for FMCG (tobacco). The company’s solution featured in a previous article by the AIPIA, here and they will present this case as a Speaker at the AIPIA Virtual Congress on September 10th 2020.
Nicolas Mordacq, Business Development Manager, shared further insight on the Dentsu Tracking implementation and how it can affect smart packaging in the future.

“Smart packaging is a key tool to anchor different traceability data and make it easy for consumers to engage with the brand. This data can be used for brand supply-chain traceability, but also for consumer transparency. For example, brands are connecting with our technologies on pack to provide users with sourcing information, raw material and ingredient traceability, product care, and recycling information, and more”

Some AIPIA global members include CocaCola, Danone, Ferrero, GSK, Heineken, Henkel, Johnson & Johnson, JTI, L’Oreal, Mondelēz International, Pernod Ricard, and PepsiCo.

Our Business Development Manager, Nicolas Mordacq, will be talking in the AIPIA Virtual Congress about how Digital marking now tracks every pack of cigarettes in Europe, don’t miss it.
