Motherson, a leading global engineering and manufacturing conglomerate, has announced a strategic partnership with Sanko Japan, a frontrunner in sustainable material handling and packaging solutions. This collaboration is a significant step toward Motherson’s vision of becoming a preferred global provider of sustainable solutions, aligning with its broader efforts toward decarbonisation and environmental responsibility.
Founded in 1951, Sanko is Japan’s No.1 manufacturer of plastic material handling products, specializing in reusable and recyclable packaging solutions. The company’s strong engineering expertise and in-house technical centre enable the development of durable, high-quality packaging tailored for multiple industries.
Through this joint venture, Motherson and Sanko aim to enhance material handling efficiencies, reduce logistics costs, and introduce sustainable packaging solutions for both automotive and non-automotive industries. By leveraging Sanko’s decades of innovation and Motherson’s extensive global reach across India and Europe, the collaboration is set to reshape packaging as an engineered, value-driven solution rather than a commodity.
Vivek Chaand Sehgal, Chairman, Motherson, said, 'Reimagining packaging as an engineered solution, rather than a simple commodity, offers immense benefits in logistics, cost efficiencies, and sustainability. This collaboration with Sanko allows us to support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals while enhancing supply chain value.'
Toshihiko Goto, President, Sanko, said, ' By combining Motherson’s strong international presence with our expertise in sustainable packaging solutions, we can deliver even greater value to our customers.'
