San Miguel Corp. (SMC), one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates in the Philippines, has teamed up with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to help improve the packaging of local products.

This partnership between SMC’s packaging business, San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corp. (SYMPC), and the DTI aims to provide cost-efficient packaging solutions to the country’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

The collaboration between SYMPC and DTI will focus on empowering the MSMEs through training and education, coaching and mentoring, and other innovative and developmental interventions.

Through roadshows nationwide, both parties will introduce appropriate packaging solutions to MSMEs through SYMPC’s network of authorized distributors. This way, SMYPC will be able to better understand the packaging needs of the MSMEs and propose innovations beneficial to the target sectors.

The collaborative project of the DTI and SMYPC will commence this year, and it is expected to create a significant impact on the packaging industry and the MSME sector.

Trade assistant secretary Dominic Tolentino shared his enthusiasm for the project, saying, “It is about time that we collaborate, enhance, and push further towards product development, branding, and innovative packaging solutions which are at par with the international standards.”

The packaging of products is critical in today’s highly competitive business landscape, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality, protection, and branding.
