Packaging paper company Billerud’s subsidiary Nine Total Packaging Partner is to merge with No Picnic’s packaging and graphic design department, to form a new company called Nine.
Nine is offering business strategy services that focus on packaging, category development and new product launches, graphic and structural design, and including surveys and studies of consumer behaviour.
“This new impetus, primarily on the design side combined with a global network of ethnographers and trend scouts, will make Nine a really interesting innovation partner for brand owners who understand the importance of investing in packaging as a competitive tool,” says Jon Haag, MD of Nine.
Nine has Carlsberg Sweden on its books and also works on projects for the Swedish Forest Industries Federation..
No Picnic remains a shareholder in the new Nine and will continue to work with shared customers as before.
