Steven Tchira, CEO of Decowraps, said “It’s invigorating to join forces with a team that’s as passionate as we are about seeing clients succeed. We are thrilled to have the seasoned and effective team of Flopak join the Decowraps family”.
Decowraps’ vision is to enhance special moments for the end consumer by offering customers innovative solutions to make their businesses more successful. With Flopak, Tchira sees the opportunity to support their vision; “By adding additional production and distribution facilities, we are expanding our geographical footprint and building a more robust supply chain, which will provide better service to our customers and drive the industry forward”.
