Winning customers through consistent value creation

Phases I and II of the Jiaxing plant and the R&D Center have been fully completed, with Phase I already in production. During this time, Phase III of the Guangzhou plant was also completed and has begun production, achieving both automated manufacturing and intelligent management. The combined area of the plants in Guangzhou and Jiaxing now exceeds 100,000 square meters.

What has attracted so many leading FMCG brands to visit Tragot's Jiaxing plant?

Over the past seven to eight years, Tragot has upgraded and innovated its processes to design and produce two-color lids for McCormick, a global leader in spices. This collaboration has helped McCormick stand out in a crowded market and has achieved a near 100% product pass rate.

Tragot has partnered not only with McCormick but also with the global food giant Mars for many years. Recently, in line with sustainable development goals, Tragot has worked with Mars to reduce plastic usage while cutting costs through the application of green materials, becoming a supplier of rPET packaging for Mars in China. Additionally, Tragot supplies packaging for many innovative co-branded products.

Through its partnerships with McCormick and Mars, it is clear that Tragot's ability to consistently deliver value to its customers is a key reason for its success in winning their loyalty.
