Rissmann has appointed Laura Carey its vice president of sales and development, where she will play a pivotal role in implementing the German company's U.S. growth strategy.
Carey will lead business development and sales of gift and secondary packaging, intended to luxury and premium brands.
The opening of its New Jersey office in July 2023 and the arrival of Carey as VP sales and development U.S. are making the United States a key market for the company.
CEO Sophie Ivens said, "Our objective is to have the capacity to produce the same packaging, with the same quality standards on three continents, in Asia, Europe and North America, close to our customers' main markets, to limit the flow of goods. In Europe, we have our own factories in Germany—next to the Nuremberg headquarters—and in Bulgaria, then a network of industrial partners in Hungary (Adapted to People with Disabilities). In Asia, we have an industrial partner in Qingdao, in addition to the Design Quality office and the sales office in Hong Kong. We have therefore selected 3 industrial partners in Mexico, who are committed to Rissmann, following a charter of confidentiality and quality, not only in terms of production, but also environmental, social and ethical in addition to holding the required certificates, FSC in particular. We carried out careful work and carried out numerous audits to ensure that all safety, compliance, quality and sustainability criteria were met."
