In December 2024, Blackwood's Managing Director Brian Liew visited Nairobi, Kenya, marking another milestone in the company's global journey. The visit was highlighted by a strategic cooperation agreement with Vertical Group Kenya, one of East Africa's leading enterprises in the packaging and printing industry.
The partnership aims to jointly advance the printed packaging business in East Africa, bringing together Blackwood's international expertise and Vertical Group's strong local presence. By integrating global innovation with regional market knowledge, both parties are committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable, and cost-effective packaging solutions to clients across the region.
During the visit, Mr. Liew emphasized Blackwood's long-term vision of creating a globally connected yet locally rooted packaging ecosystem. He noted that East Africa, with its dynamic growth and increasing demand for premium packaging, is a critical region for Blackwood's international expansion.
This collaboration not only reflects Blackwood's dedication to innovation and sustainability, but also reinforces its commitment to supporting local industries and contributing to economic development in emerging markets.
The Nairobi visit and partnership with Vertical Group Kenya signify Blackwood's continuous drive to connect the world through packaging, empowering brands, businesses, and communities across continents.
