Pira has recently worked with the Print and Packaging Industry Council of Trinidad and Tobago to assess new and emerging print and packaging technologies of potential development interest. T&T is one of the most prosperous islands within the Caribbean due to petroleum and gas production. Having earned an excellent reputation for international business and investment, T&T now wants to strengthen its print and packaging excellence.
Pira consultants Martin Kay and Neil Falconer worked closely with the PPIC to develop a detailed insight into global print and packaging trends to develop regional strategies for T&T and CARICOM region.
The work involved:
- An assessment of the current state – involving a complete assessment of the print and packaging industries in T&T, import and export profiles, and profiling of domestic manufacturing
- New and emerging print and packaging technologies were identified and gap analysis applied in order to prioritise technologies for further development
- A detailed description of each opportunity and recommended course of action was provided
- Presentation of the results to the PPIC together with individual site meetings.
The work follows on from a recent Pira study to establish a packaging testing laboratory at the University of Trinidad and Tobago. |
