Packaging solutions specialist tna recently opened a new regional office in São Paulo. The move reflects tna’s commitment to meeting increased demand for innovative packaging technology in this rapidly expanding region and further reinforces its leadership position within the international packaging industry.

The new office will host both sales and service teams and enable the company to better serve its growing number of customers, both in Brazil and across the continent. Furthermore, tna’s on-the-ground team in Brazil will be able to closely monitor market trends and activity across the region, facilitating the development of new, regional-specific technology to better respond to local needs.

With a local base in São Paulo, our tna experts can now review real in-country challenges and develop innovations that are tailor-made to the local packaging market. This will enable us to provide even better service to our Brazilian customers, with an emphasis on enhanced technical support, sales and related services.”
