Smurfit Kappa announced it has received the ‘Passion for Results’ award for “outstanding customer support and service delivery,” from Signify, the world leader in lighting for professionals, consumers and the Internet of Things, formerly known as Philips Lighting.

According to a statement, supply chain optimization and a reduction in costs, coupled with exemplary customer service, “were among the benefits that Smurfit Kappa provided for Signify” at its production facility located in Tijuana, Baja California.

Smurfit Kappa provides sustainable packaging for a wide range of Signify’s lighting products including ballasts, LED lights and LED lamps from its own packaging plant also located in Tijuana.

It’s very gratifying to get recognition of our ongoing dedication to sharing knowledge and collaboratively designing packaging solutions that exceed requirements. It’s also an honor that Signify has recognized the expertise and capabilities of the Smurfit Kappa team which always strives to surpass expectations throughout all levels of customer interaction.”

The award winners were chosen by a global panel of Signify Account Managers and Procurement Directors.

Bartosz Thomas, from Signify’s Worldwide Strategic Commodity Procurement Team, added: “This award acknowledges Smurfit Kappa for going above and beyond in quick delivery response times to support high schedule fluctuations.

“In addition, they provided unlimited support for our IWD & Magic Hat workshops, resulting in and contributing to cost savings, transportation and operational improvements. They have a true passion for results and partnership.”
