A Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company was experiencing setbacks in its manufacturing opera-tions due to a packaging bottleneck. Their manufacturer was packing the candy at the end of the line, forcing the line to halt regularly to keep up with the packaging. The CPG approached Shorr to find a solution that allowed the packaging process to move off the production line to resolve the bottleneck. Additionally, the company’s ecommerce business was rapidly growing, which provided a need for more flexibility for flavor production to fulfill online orders. The CPG knew they needed a more
efficient and scalable solution. Shorr leveraged industry expertise and ShorrPack to offer cost-effective co-packing and kitting services.
