Essel Packaging (Guangzhou) Ltd., Essel Propack’s (NSE: ESSELPACK, BSE: 500135) China arm has been recognized as ’2014 Outstanding Collaboration Supplier’ by global healthcare company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on 27th January 2015 at Tianjin, China.

 

The maiden certification has been awarded to Essel Propack after GSK’s annual supplier performance evaluation by considering a five-point criterion of – Assurance of supply, Quality, Cost, Service and Innovation. Essel Propack China was rated maximum score in 4 out of 5 of these criteria.

 

Essel Propack China has a long standing supplier relationship with GSK in China which dates back to 2008, when it started supply to Australia, followed by China in 2011. In 2014, Essel Propack China also started serving GSK in ASEAN markets.

 

This award has been conferred to EPL China for outstanding work delivered for their premium ‘Sensodyne’ brand among all suppliers to GSK across categories.
