Go-Pak Group has launched a new global trading platform designed to simplify international procurement for foodservice brands and cut supply chain complexity across the rapidly expanding packaging sector.
The platform, Go-Pak International, allows customers to consolidate orders from multiple suppliers into a single shipment, creating mixed containers that combine products from Go-Pak’s own manufacturing network, its Thailand-based parent company SCG Packaging and approved third-party suppliers.
The launch comes as demand for foodservice packaging continues to surge worldwide. The global foodservice packaging market is expected to reach $444.9 bn in 2026, driven by the growth of takeaway dining, delivery platforms and quick-service restaurants. Against this backdrop, Go-Pak says the new platform aims to help operators streamline procurement while improving logistics efficiency.
Adam Anderson, Group Managing Director, Go-Pak Group, said, “Foodservice brands are operating in a fast-moving global market where speed, flexibility and sustainability all matter. With Go-Pak International, we’re enabling customers to source packaging more efficiently by consolidating products from across our own network, SCGP and trusted third-party suppliers. Just as we have done with initiatives such as our closed-loop cardboard recycling solution Go-Recycle, we’re looking at the bigger picture of how packaging supply chains can evolve. By reducing complexity, improving logistics efficiency and helping cut waste across distribution, we’re supporting the industry’s transition towards a more circular future.”
Acting as a single point of contact for international orders, Go-Pak International operates from its facilities in Vietnam, enabling brands to consolidate smaller packaging products from multiple factories, suppliers or locations into a single container and shipment. By allowing mixed containers, the platform removes the need for businesses to manage multiple suppliers, shipments and procurement processes.
The model is designed to benefit both global quick-service restaurant chains and smaller foodservice brands looking to scale internationally, with the option to include bespoke branding. By combining products from different suppliers within the same shipment, businesses can reduce freight costs while improving efficiencies. Customers can access a wider portfolio of packaging products through a single consolidated order, drawing on manufacturing capacity and supply networks across Vietnam and the wider SCGP group.
Karl Smith, Vietnam operations director at Go-Pak Group added: “Vietnam plays a critical role in our global supply model, allowing us to consolidate products closer to source, reduce complexity for our global customers and create a more efficient and scalable way to deliver packaging worldwide.”
The approach could also support sustainability goals across the industry. Consolidated shipments of products manufactured in Vietnam reduces the number of containers required across global trade routes, which can help lower freight emissions associated with international packaging supply chains. At the same time, container consolidation can reduce the volume of secondary transport packaging such as pallets, protective materials and shrink wrap used during distribution.
