On June 17, in Moscow, on the sidelines of the 25th International Packaging And Labelling Exhibition (RosUpack 2021), Segezha Group PJSC (a part of Sistema PJSFC) was awarded Part Awards 2021.

Part Awards is an annual international award in the field of packaging solutions and design. The nominees are companies offering high-quality packaging solutions with improved consumer properties. Segezha Group became the winner in three nominations.

“Manufacturer of the Year” in the category “Packaging for Food Products” was handed to the holding for paper bags with a cut-out window for vegetables and fruits. This packaging is eco-friendly, biodegradable and protects products from UF radiation, keeping them fresh.

Segezha Group was selected “Manufacturer of the Year” in the “Industrial Packaging” category for its innovative small-format packaging for dry building mixtures. The sacks are designed for 3-5 kg and do not require installation of any additional packaging equipment at the manufacturing site.

“Organizer’s Choice” was awarded for the best concept of participation in RosUpack 2021 and the exhibition booth.
