Sustainable packaging specialist Go-Pak Group has launched a global trading platform designed to simplify international procurement for foodservice brands and reduce supply chain complexity.
The platform, Go-Pak International, enables customers to consolidate orders from multiple suppliers into a single shipment, creating mixed containers that combine products from Go-Pak’s manufacturing network, its Thailand-based parent company SCG Packaging and approved third-party suppliers.
Operating from facilities in Vietnam, the platform acts as a single point of contact for international orders. It allows brands to consolidate smaller packaging products from multiple factories, suppliers or locations into a single container and shipment, removing the need to manage multiple suppliers, shipments and procurement processes.
Adam Anderson, group managing director at Go-Pak Group, said, “Foodservice brands are operating in a fast-moving global market where speed, flexibility and sustainability all matter. With Go-Pak International, we’re enabling customers to source packaging more efficiently by consolidating products from across our own network, SCGP and trusted third-party suppliers.
“Just as we have done with initiatives such as our closed-loop cardboard recycling solution Go-Recycle, we’re looking at the bigger picture of how packaging supply chains can evolve. By reducing complexity, improving logistics efficiency and helping cut waste across distribution, we’re supporting the industry’s transition towards a more circular future.”
The model is designed for both global quick-service restaurant chains and smaller foodservice brands looking to scale internationally, with the option to include bespoke branding. By combining products from different suppliers within the same shipment, businesses can reduce freight costs while improving efficiencies and access a wider portfolio of packaging products through a single consolidated order, drawing on manufacturing capacity and supply networks across Vietnam and the wider SCGP group.
Karl Smith, Vietnam operations director at Go-Pak Group, said, “Vietnam plays a critical role in our global supply model, allowing us to consolidate products closer to source, reduce complexity for our global customers and create a more efficient and scalable way to deliver packaging worldwide.”
Go-Pak said consolidated shipments of products manufactured in Vietnam can reduce the number of containers required across global trade routes, which can help lower freight emissions associated with international packaging supply chains. Container consolidation can also reduce the volume of secondary transport packaging such as pallets, protective materials and shrink wrap used during distribution.
The launch comes as the global foodservice packaging market is expected to reach $444.9 billion in 2026, driven by the growth of takeaway dining, delivery platforms and quick-service restaurants.
The platform forms part of Go-Pak’s wider strategy to support the evolving needs of the global foodservice sector, where demand for sustainable, scalable packaging continues to rise.
