Mexico, a market that brings them closer to the United States
The head of the marketing area for Latin America of the self-adhesive label manufacturer pointed out that they want to continue their expansion in Mexico because it is a very large market with many possibilities.
He mentioned that one of the country’s advantages is its geographical location with the United States.
“Part of our development is to turn to the United States, we export a lot to that country. So they are two markets that we look at as one, we manufacture in Mexico and we see the needs to export to the United States,” he commented.
Furthermore, another advantage is that all the developments carried out in Europe can be replicated in Mexico because it is a relevant market for the industry in which the company operates and in this way they contribute to its advancement and innovation in line with global trends.
He indicated that they are the main label manufacturers worldwide in the wine category, since they are producers of their own raw materials.
They have FSC™ certified paper and alternative products to paper derived from cellulose, cotton, bamboo, hemp, sugar cane and cocoa fibers. With this type of materials they make innovative materials available to the market.
Another measure they took was to reduce the proportion of virgin self-adhesive materials as raw materials, thus reducing energy consumption at the time of production, without losing their technical characteristics and performance. Recycled materials are incorporated into self-adhesive papers.
With these new strategies and following market trends, Fedrigoni seeks to advance innovation and offer tailored or personalized solutions for participants in the labeling industry in Mexico.
