R&D

The right solution for each product’s requirements


The Monteiro Packaging R&D department is constantly developing advanced and up-to-date solutions that are appropriate to the needs of each product. The protection and preservation of the product, the environmental impact of the packaging and its performance are of primary importance in the development process.
Over the years, Monteiro Packaging has created and built partnerships with strategic suppliers who are key to the projects developed by the R&D department.
