Nefab has received the Innovative Spirit Award from Cytiva

Partnership with Purpose

This award honors one of Nefab’s solutions, which is a modular, pallet-optimized packaging system that replaces multiple box sizes and plastic fillers with one standardized carton and a paper-based insert, tailored to EUR-pallet dimensions. This design improves consistency, reduces plastic use, simplifies recycling, and streamlines logistics.

Our partnership with Cytiva has been built on transparency, shared goals, and a joint focus on improving logistics and reducing environmental impact. Through coordinated efforts, both teams have made significant improvements in packaging processes, emphasizing efficiency, sustainability, and quality in global operations.

Cytiva’s underscores these achievements as part of their award criteria:

• Impactful and innovative solutions that lower emissions in packaging and distribution
• Innovation driven by teamwork and collaboration
• Consistent delivery of low-carbon, high-quality solutions
• Positive contributions to Cytiva’s climate targets and operational standards

Delivering Measurable Results

This collaboration has achieved clear, quantifiable benefits including:

• Reduced packing time by 50%, resulting in labor savings of 84,500 SEK per year
• Decreased plastic use by 90% (from 313 kg to 29 kg per year)
• Lowered outbound shipping volumes, reduced from 55 m³ to 48 m³ per year
• Reduction of 402 tons of CO2, a 43% savings per year

In addition, as packaging volumes today are nearly three times higher than at project launch, these improvements have a growing impact every year.

Ongoing Commitment

The Innovative Spirit Award reflects the effectiveness of working in partnership to reach shared objectives in sustainability and operational improvement. Over the long term, these efforts are expected to save thousands of labor hours, eliminate more than two metric tons of plastic waste, and support Cytiva’s efforts as a leader in sustainable distribution.

We remain committed to advancing this partnership and continuing to deliver measurable results through collaborative innovation.
