63 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE APRIL 2020 VONCO PRODUCTS LLC such as hand sanitizers, soaps, and household cleaning fluids. “Vonco offers fast custom development and commercialization for brand owners,” says Smith. “Moreover, our supply chain solutions reduce the complexity and cost of sourcing, manufacturing, and distributing consumer-branded solutions. We’re also able to maximize margins and minimize risk by reducing waste and spoilage with guaranteed leak-proof packaging. Whether you’re filling five pouches per minute or 120 pouches per minute, this is an exciting time for brand owners to consider a turnkey contract manufacturer that can solve the entire supply chain.” Another concern shared by many of Vonco’s customers is sustainability. “There’s definitely a growing role for flexible packaging and post- consumer recycled materials,” Smith relates. “Flexibles are a major step towards providing sustainable alternatives to rigid plastic, metal, or glass containers. When you consider the number of brand owners switching to consumer-friendly and eco-friendly solutions, it’s not difficult to point out the benefits of flexible packaging over rigid packaging: pouches are lighter and more portable, use up to 60 percent less plastic than rigid plastic bottles, require approximately 50 percent less energy to produce, generate less CO2 emissions during production, produce significantly less landfill waste, and require fewer trucks for transportation. Vonco offers brand owners a variety of recyclable options for their packaging.” Smith maintains that while many other companies are left searching for quality employees, Vonco Products’ core values help it recruit new workers. “We care more about each other; we care more about our customers; we care more about patients and consumers,” he states. “That permeates this organization and helps us with our referral system. We touch a lot of lives with the products that we make.”
