Bernard Davroux
Packaging Expert, Team Leader, and Designer in Lyon, France
I am the Business and Product Manager at Papeteries de Vizille (Vicat Group) for the food and luxury packaging markets. I have more than 30 years of experience in rigid and flexible packaging for several employers.
I have extensive experience in speciality papers, coated & uncoated, auto-adhesives, functional barriers, pfas-free greaseproof paper, heat-sealable paper, FBB & SBS cartonboard, and recycled paper.
Well-known paper and carton board ranges from Metsäboard, Stora Enso, Billerud, Igessund, MM Packaging, RDM, Fedrigoni, Favini, The Navigator Company, Burgo, Drewsen, Ahlstrom, …
I am passionate about creative design, finding innovative solutions for the sustainable and technical requirements of my clients, and always producing beautiful print results.
I love to innovate in primary or secondary packaging to meet the sustainability goals of well-known brand owners across several markets: Food, Beauty & Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals, and Wines & Spirits.
For the last 5 years, I have been in regular contact with the R&D and packaging departments of Nestlé, Ferrero, Lindt, Mars, Unilever, McCormick, Mondelez, L’Oréal, LVMH, and L’Occitane en Provence.
Recyclable solutions are my daily topics!
My expertise is advising and closing the loop between my paper mill, designers, R&D departments, and brand owners to create the best sustainable packaging, in collaboration with converters like:
DS Smith, Smurfit Westrock, Autajon, Pusterla 1880, MPO, Walki, Coveris, Amcor, Sittilatia, MCC Label, Verpack, Bpack, Wauters, Carestia, …
In addition, as a Senior, I like to share my experience with my sales team and clients, and to be at the forefront with the R&D teams.
To relax, I don’t forget to practice trekking in the mountains or to sail on the Mediterranean Sea on weekends to find inspiration!
If one word introduced me, it would be: Creativity.
