In February this year, Kent Metal Developments won a repeat order from IAC Automotive in Sunderland to supply packaging for the new Nissan hatchback. We had supplied an initial qty towards the end of 2006, and when IAC's order quantities increased, they had to increase their packagaing quantities. Initially we went into IAC with cost saving measures – looking at the packaging which had been designed and prototyped – and bettering the designs both physically and financially. In total we packaged 23 different parts for the new Nissan Note supplying Stillages, and box solutions.

We offered 4 packaging solutions – Stillages, Polycarbonate dividers in a box with a foam base, Spunbond Dividers in a box with a foam base (for painted and finished parts) and PVC stitched bags in a box.
