The Flynn Group, which operates restaurant chains encompassing more than 2,700 Applebee’s, Taco Bell, Arby’s, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s and Paneras stores, has recognised Detpak with a Product Excellence Award at a recent event in Sydney.
Detpak designs, develops and produces packaging for the Flynn Group in Australia and New Zealand, which operates more than 280 Pizza Hut and Wendy stores locally.
The award recognises Detpak for its promotional innovation and design, for having zero quality complaints or concerns, the harmonisation of its product range at Pizza Hut, the consolidation of its range of Wendy’s packaging across Australia and New Zealand and its cost competitiveness.
Detpak was also jointly acknowledged with Ferrero and Aryzta for Product Excellence for the Pizza Hut Loaded Cookie Nutella box.
Detpak, a subsidiary of South Australian, family-owned Detmold Group, was recognised for its design and development work with LaunchPadTM – a specialist, in-house packaging design agency and in-house R&D lab.
The Detmold Group expanded the LaunchPad facility in early 2023 to include a laboratory, further assisting product designers to work with clients to create and test new products for functional effectiveness and legislative compliance, supporting its focus on packaging innovation, product development and sustainability.
Detpak has worked with Pizza Hut for more than 20 years, supplying packaging for sides, snacking and deserts, along with bags and cartons, including the recent Nutella Cookie Box. The Wendy’s partnership has also been growing in recent years, expanding its range to supply cups, cartons and bags.
“It has been a great journey working with the Flynn Group in Australia and New Zealand, as we’ve worked to align products for different markets and create new and innovative packaging,” says Ben Suttell, Detpak Business Manager.
