Combining over two centuries of talent, expertise and innovation, Arkay Packaging and Model Group are excited to announce their new, collaborative Global Alliance. For our customers, this alliance translates into increased opportunities for worldwide marketing, branding, launches, graphics, and, of course, the benefit of having two leaders in the packaging industry pool their knowledge and capabilities to a shared client base.
Founded in 1882 in Switzerland, the Model name has become synonymous in Europe with luxury, elegance, and quality in the manufacturing of paperboard packaging and related products for the cosmetic and fragrance arena. Focusing on cosmetics, fragrance, and pharmaceuticals, Arkay – established in New York City in 1922 – has achieved renown as a provider of exceptional packaging for 93 years.
Both of these award-winning companies demonstrate refinement, exclusivity, high-value, and speed-to-market in their field.
Manifesting a state-of-the-art modality, these two formidable family businesses are now allied in their ongoing pursuit of excellence. Energized by their unique histories, innovation, and cutting edge equipment, Arkay and Model look forward to providing unparalleled service to their customers.
“We believe there is no future without a past,” says Daniel Model, Chairman/CEO Model Group, in words that mirror Arkay’s experience, “Our firm’s history stretches back over 130 years – but we must nevertheless continually prove ourselves with our products and services if we are to see our path to the future unrolling before us.”
“At Arkay, innovation is our mantra,” says Arkay Chairman/CEO Mitchell Kaneff. “What makes Arkay distinctive is our personal relationship with our clients. We listen to our clients, we hear what they desire, and we take action. At Arkay we strive to give our customers what they expect when they expect it – every time!”
“We dress to impress,” says the Model website – and Arkay adds: “We’re listening!”
The Model Group develops, produces and delivers intelligent, innovative, high-value packaging solutions using cardboard and corrugated board, ranging from simple transport packaging to chocolate and perfume boxes with sophisticated finishes. The Group consists of 15 subsidiaries in nine countries. Its principal markets include Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine and Croatia. The Group’s corporate headquarters is located in Weinfelden, Thurgau (Switzerland).
