Berry to create new centre of excellence in Barcelona

BERRY Global has announced plans to begin developing its International Centre of Excellence and Circular Innovation Hub in Barcelona as early as third quarter 2023.

The company said the centre of excellence will give customers access to a new generation of circular products and research and development experts; create a collaborative space for product design tailored to customers’ unique sustainability goals; and generate job opportunities while supporting Berry’s diversity and inclusion strategy by employing talent from across Barcelona, one of Europe’s most culturally diverse cities.

“The ability to access innovative, sustainable packaging solutions is more important than ever as our customers across the globe strive to shift to a circular, net zero economy,” said Jean-Marc Galvez, president of consumer packaging international.

“By creating a focused, educational, and collaborative space to push the limits of circular innovation, our new centre in one of the most dynamic regions across Europe in Catalonia, Spain will help customers meet their ambitious sustainability goals while expanding Berry’s talented and diverse workforce.”
