Motherson partners with Japan's Sanko for sustainable packaging solutions

Auto components major Motherson on Friday said it has entered into a joint venture with Japan's Sanko, a player in material handling sector to provide sustainable packaging solutions in India and Europe.

The joint venture (JV) will contribute to greater efficiencies in material handling with cost reduction in overall logistics spending, Motherson said in a statement.

This partnership with Sanko is a strategic, synergistic diversification for the group, Motherson Chairman Vivek Chaand Sehgal said.

"We believe that reimagining packaging as an engineered solution versus a simple commodity can bring immense logistics, cost, and value efficiencies to supply chains," he said.
