eener Plastics, a global supplier
of innovative and value-added
packaging solutions, has signed
a five-year, managed SD-WAN agreement
with Orange Business Services to support
its global expansion. Rolling out Flexible
SD-WAN across 24 sites in Europe, Asia and
Latin America, Weener Plastics will increase
agility and flexibility in its organisation, as
well as improve internal communication.
Weener Plastics offers standard, as well
as tailor-made and innovative packaging
solutions for its multinational customers.
The company, which has expanded globally
through acquisitions, needed an agile
solution to support its rapid growth and
access to cloud-based applications such as
Office 365 and ERP software. In addition,
Weener Plastics wanted a managed solution

to allow its teams to focus on its core
manufacturing business.
To keep up with changing customer
demands, it is important that Weener
Plastics is physically present in its customers’
countries of operation. Weener Plastics
chose Orange Business Services because
of its extensive experience with SD-WAN,
but also for its strong local presence and
homogeneous portfolio of managed services
and applications across all the countries and
regions in which it operates.
“Because of our rapid global expansion, we
were looking for a worldwide IT partner that
could also offer local support and solutions
for all of our sites throughout the world. The
Flexible SD-WAN solution provides us with
a reliable and agile network to support us
during our next phase of business. Thanks
to Orange Business Services, we can focus
on the things we’re good at: developing
and producing innovative plastic packaging
solutions,” said Eric den Hertog, Global IT
Director at Weener Plastics.
“We are delighted to support Weener
Plastics in its global expansion. A migration
to SD-WAN requires careful consideration
and expertise in making sure the solution
is adequately designed with steady state
operations in mind.
“Through our deep knowledge and
expertise with SD-WAN solutions, we are
the perfect partner for Weener Plastics’
international ambitions,” said Fabrice de
Windt, Senior Vice President Europe for
Orange Business Services. n
