MWV is a leading global packaging company. They help shape consumers' experiences with products in food, beverage, tobacco, beauty and personal care, healthcare, and home and garden markets around the world. They also provide specialty chemicals to the automotive, infrastructure, and energy exploration industries. Corporate headquarters are in Richmond, VA, USA.

MWV needed to develop innovative, consumer-driven secondary packaging solutions 33% faster to address fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers’ challenge of speed to market.

MWV chose the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform based on V6 architecture for every step of the package development process, from brainstorming marketing concepts through 3D design, simulation and manufacturing. 

With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, MWV has compressed the packaging timeline from 18 to six months by developing more efficient business processes and streamlining 3D data from product design to  manufacturing.

"Everything is now instant, and that is creating an atmosphere where consumers are changing the way they purchase and how they interact with brands. Our customers are asking, 'How do we decrease our lead times and get to market faster?' We have set an aggressive goal to shorten the lead time from 18 months to 6 months. Dassault Systèmes‘ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, combined with our extensive global secondary packaging expertise, puts us on a direct path to success."
