DS Smith launches new automotive website

The Packaging Strategists at DS Smith are accelerating hard into the automotive sector with the launch of a new customer-centric automotive website to bolster their position as a global supplier to the automotive industry.

The new site combines all of DS Smith’s offerings for the automotive sector, be it in our wide range of multi-material packaging solutions, in corrugated, plastics, foams and other materials, or our automotive components, consultative services, recycling and more at www.dssmith.com/automotive.

The new site is designed to make life easier for customers in the global automotive sector. From OEM’s to tier suppliers, everyone can now quickly and easily see what the innovative designers at DS Smith have developed for the world’s most complex and competitive industry.

This new website is a reflection of our commitment to service the automotive sector globally

— Stéphane Meyer, Business Unit Director – Automotive

“It’s a sector we have worked with for years and we’ve developed a deep understanding of its challenges and opportunities. However, not many in the industry realise the breadth of products included in DS Smith’s value proposition – single-use, multi-use and multi-material packaging solutions that perform at each step in the supply cycle is just the beginning.”

The solutions on the website are divided into three sections depending on our customers' needs:

Under Packaging Solutions, visitors can find solutions specifically designed for the aftermarket, direct to production lines and overseas export. Our packaging solutions are made from corrugated cardboard, corrugated plastic, thermoformed plastics, expanded polypropylene and a variety of other materials.

The Component Solutions section features a collection of light-weight and impact-resistant auto components made of expanded polypropylene (EPP), Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and extruded Polypropylene (PP) that are becoming a standard feature on today’s energy-efficient automobiles.  From noise and energy absorbing side impact components to protective surfaces for the hardest working utility vehicles – there is a wealth of components that DS Smith can provide within the strictest of tolerances.

Our Services is perhaps the most exciting part of the website as it provides a window into the vast expertise that DS Smith brings to the automotive sector. From inspired and innovative design, to rigorous supply cycle audits and the insights into recycling and waste management we can provide unparalleled experience to the automotive sector.

“We’ve already received great feedback from our customers as they realise the extent to which DS Smith, as a global supplier, can help them tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges. As we work together to turn those complexities into competitive advantages I am confident our collaboration is only going to grow,” concluded Meyer.
