EckPack Service is a company that’s build on innovation. It has developed an ingenious range of packaging solutions for the solar industry, built around a plastic corner that is unlike anything else available. But has it been successful? Definitely, says Technical Sales Manager, Marin Maras.
PES: Welcome to PES. Would you care to introduce yourself to our readers and explain a little more about how your company serves the PV industry?
Marin Maras: EckPack Service is the world market leader in premium solar module packaging. Our plastic corners are the synonym for safe and easy packaging. We offer different solutions for framed, frameless and other PV modules as well for thermal collectors.
All of them reduce time, material and labour and are re-usable. We have two modern injection equipment facilities in Germany for serving the European market and have started now in Canada in order to serve better the American market. Currently our combined capacity is around 7GW.
PES: The company was founded over a decade ago now, how did this come about and was the thinking behind it?
MM: EckPack Service was founded in January 2004 by Martin Flossmann, General Manager of SOLON Germany, in cooperation with leading experts on packaging and processing.
The primary goal was to develop a re-usable, environment and production friendly alternative to the previous conventional packaging materials. The purpose of the idea was to minimise packaging waste and reduce Co2 through reusability and the recycling of 100 % packaging materials.
