ORBIS Leads in Automotive Packaging<\/h2>\n
The ORBIS\u00ae Corporation we know today has strong roots in the automotive industry. What started out as a Wisconsin-based reusable packaging company, working with a few automotive OEMs in Michigan, quickly grew into a global leader that supports every automotive OEM in North America, and most automotive OEMs worldwide. Rewinding 25 years, ORBIS started its growth in automotive with two core customers in the \u201cbig three\u201d OEMs in Detroit, focusing heavily on hand-held containers. In fact, ORBIS was the first to develop a hand-held straight-wall container for the automotive industry: the StakPak\u00ae tote.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”10586″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=”element_from_left”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Year over year, ORBIS added complementary products to its automotive packaging<\/a> portfolio. Today, ORBIS has packaging solutions in all forms, including foldable large containers<\/a> and custom dunnage. In its tenured history, ORBIS has found ways to continue to differentiate through its product and service offerings. With continued product expansion and service offerings, ORBIS now operates as a global solutions provider supporting OEMs and tier suppliers throughout Canada, Mexico, South America and Europe.<\/p>\nUnparalleled Expertise<\/h3>\n
More than just a product and service specialist, ORBIS is a supply chain expert. Understanding the different touch points and how to plan for every stop in a part\u2019s journey helps ORBIS provide its customers with the best packaging recommendations and the highest level of part protection. With products, services and custom solutions, ORBIS has the largest global portfolio of products and services to offer its customers truly unbiased solutions.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven our wide portfolio of solutions and experts, our customers know we\u2019re making the best possible recommendation for their operation. We listen to them and customize solutions to position them successfully for vehicle launches,\u201d said Scott Krebs, marketing manager at ORBIS Corporation. Looking to the future, automotive OEMs that want to remain competitive will look to their packaging to decrease waste, increase recyclability and reduce their environmental impact.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The ORBIS Priority: Unparalleled Customer Focus<\/h2>\n
After more than 170 years of experience in reusable packaging, taking care of our customers is still the top priority. Understanding, listening to and taking care of our customers has been paramount to our business and people. So much so that ORBIS takes tremendous pride in taking care of our customers. In 2007, ORBIS began formally surveying its customers on their levels of satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy. We ask about their experience with our company and products with the singular purpose of doing better for our customers. This survey has now evolved to an online customer satisfaction survey that is sent to customers after every order.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”10601″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=”element_from_left”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]The survey is just one aspect of listening to our customers. With associates located in the United States, Latin America, Canada and Europe, a global team works together to provide local support \u2013 from custom product development to innovating for the future. Our people are out there every day in customer plants, on video calls and on the phone, working to understand their supply chain in order to offer expertise and provide the best solution, and support, to meet and exceed their needs. We work with our customers to analyze their supply chain, design and implement a solution and evolve with them as their supply chain changes. At the end of the life of the packaging, ORBIS recovers and reprocesses it back into useful product. Truly a circular solution.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
