Case Study: Ecolean achieves lightweighting, global growth and stronger customer relationships with IFS

Ecolean overcomes the industry's top challenges with IFS

Ecolean is a fast-growing global packaging company founded in 1996 in Helsingborg, Sweden that produces lightweight packaging systems for the liquid food industry and now operates in 28 countries, with major markets in China, Russia and Pakistan. Rapid expansion (30–40% annual growth) and the industry need for lightweight, resource-efficient packaging created three core challenges: accelerating product development, scaling operations to support global growth, and managing increasing customer relationships.

Ecolean implemented IFS ERP and CRM to plan and manage lightweighting initiatives, support rapid company expansion and centralize customer management. The integrated solution shortened time to market, improved R&D and project visibility, increased customer satisfaction, strengthened data accuracy and security, and delivered better cost efficiency and streamlined business processes.
