PACKING THEM IN

EMN members attend Valentine ’ s Day date at Stiller

Stiller ’ s contract packing facility continues to prove a gamechanger – and now members of the Engineering and Manufacturing Network ( EMN ) have been to see why .

Since it opened last year , the 42,000-sq ft site on Grindon Way has taken Stiller Warehousing and Distribution ’ s already impressive contract packing offer to the next level .
Every aspect of contract packing is covered in the impressively refurbished building – from hand assembly , repacking , labelling and remedial work to fulfilment , stock returns , product kitting and assembly or disassembly .
And on Valentine ’ s Day , EMN members had a date at Aycliffe to learn all about it .
The morning networking event saw representatives from dozens of companies head to Aycliffe to hear about Stiller ’ s contract packing services .
But it was a mutually beneficial event too , with Stiller also using it to ask EMN members for support on its new facilities with information regarding design and automation .
The meeting heard how Stiller Contract Packing provides a comprehensive suite of fulfilment and packaging solutions for operational efficiency .
Firms were told that by outsourcing their additional activities to firms such as Stiller , it would allow them to focus on their core competencies and achieve significant operational benefits . Those benefits include :
• Enhanced efficiency : Streamlined processes and advanced technology optimise your supply chain , reducing lead times and minimising errors .
