Åke E Andersson in memoriam: A tribute by Bo Walteg

IPPO founder Åke E Andersson passed away at the age of 92. He was a notable figure in Swedish (and international) packaging history, having made invaluable contributions to the packaging industry at large.

Åke's commitment to increasing the wider knowledge of the merits of modern packaging technology was almost limitless, and his ideas and actions greatly contributed to creating a worldwide reputation for Nordic packaging development.

Åke was so motivated when it came to broadening and clarifying the knowledge about the benefits of new packaging that he was often far ahead of the innovators’ own ambitions to spread their news!
