Global supply chain organization, Now Plastics, supplies world-class BOPP, PET, NYLON, PE films, aluminum foil and other flexible packaging products such as high-barrier, anti-fog films to converter customers around the globe, including in North America, Central and South America, the United Kingdom, Europe and North Africa. Expertise gained over four decades’ servicing the flexible packaging industry with a full range of supply chain services - from logistics to financing, product warranties to procurement risk mitigation - to assure customers a seamless experience. To mitigate the risks inherent in any supplier network, Now Plastics sources its products from over 60 manufacturers and works with multiple transportation and logistics service providers, across multiple markets, all hand-picked and vetted. In this way, the majority of products are backed by at least three suppliers, from three different countries so that, in the event of a supply breakdown in one region, the company can call on other trusted suppliers that remain up and running. Now Plastics also has capacity to hold extensive backup inventory (’safety stock’), which helps ensure instant stock availability, both in times of supply disruption, and to meet sudden spikes in demand. This approach has enabled the company to weather all manner of storms – both literal and metaphorical. As well as delivering first-class logistics management of every single order, every step of the way, Now Plastics also offers unique flexibility in financing and stock holding programs. With an overall package that delivers the greatest value in terms of quality, price and service, Now Plastics is the perfect partner to help you overcome the challenges of regional conflicts, COVID-19, or any other event threatening your plastics supply chain.
