2025 Customer Innovation Award Winners:
- CMC Packaging Automation has been selected for its groundbreaking automated packaging technology, which creates right-sized packages on demand, reducing waste and packaging inefficiencies revealed during the pandemic-driven e-commerce surge. Their solution enhances durability, precision, and scalability of packaging, while eliminating void fillers and optimizing shipping. Already deployed by major retailers, logistics companies and e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Best Buy, Urban Outfitter and Decathlon, CMC Packaging Automation’s technology is reshaping e-commerce fulfillment with more efficient and sustainable packaging solutions.
- Georgia Pacific’s difference-making innovation leverages water-based barrier coatings for corrugate boxes and bins, making protein packaging more sustainable while improving packaging performance. This innovative packaging changes the industry standard of wax-based coatings on packaging, while still maintaining performance in use with converting sites and protein manufacturers. This packaging enables enhanced food safety and better transport by preventing oils from seeping through the packaging. These concepts for more recyclable paper-based packaging are being applied in other applications where Georgia Pacific continues to innovate.
- Changzhou Xingyu’s automotive lighting, including Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB), Digital Light Processing (DLP), and Micro LED technology, were recognized for improving visibility and road safety. As lighting systems become more advanced, heat management is crucial, and Changzhou Xingyu has innovated to ensure better heat control and longer-lasting headlights through enhanced durability, efficiency, and performance. Already being implemented in the many passenger vehicles, the solution delivers precise lighting, reduced glare, and improved driving conditions.
- MITER Brands is being awarded for developing new triple-insulating glass units (IGU), which enable lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient windows and doors. Through a collaboration with Corning Incorporated, a world-leading innovator in glass, ceramic, and materials science, MITER Brands created a high-performance glass system that enhances thermal efficiency, reducing heat loss and improving insulation while using the same window and door frames of a dual-pane IGU. The innovation enables lower energy consumption and enhanced indoor comfort, ultimately resulting in a reduced carbon footprint.
