What is PaaS?
Packaging as a Service (PaaS) is a comprehensive service model that goes beyond the mere provision of packaging machines. GREIF-VELOX not only supplies the machines, but also takes over the entire packaging infrastructure as a full-service partner - from the provision and maintenance of the machines to the supply of consumables and continuous process optimisation.
With PaaS, you benefit from a fully integrated packaging process - customised to your specific production requirements and without high initial investments (CAPEX). The running costs are covered by predictable monthly instalments that offer you maximum cost transparency and flexibility.
Your technological benefits with Packaging as a Service:
Efficient, reliable and process-stable with proven GREIF-VELOX technology
High storage and transportation costs due to inflated bags
Up to 75 % lower storage and transportation costs
due to up to four-fold compacted bags
Dusting and contamination
Dust-free bagging and high product protection
through vacuum bagging and bags tailored to the product
Fluctuating process performance
Flexible scaling:
Adapted to your production volumes and machine requirements
Complicated maintenance
Second-level support and efficient remote maintenance by VeloXPert
Reduction of downtimes to a minimum

Many companies today are looking for ways to make costs more flexible, avoid investments and at the same time ensure their system availability. This is exactly where our PaaS model comes in: It converts high initial investments into predictable monthly expenses - and also relieves our customers of the burden of maintenance, spare parts and consumables. In this way, we create more scope for the essentials: their core business.
Quote: Managing Director Sebastian Pohl
From machine purchase to integrated solution
While existing Packaging-as-a-Service models are usually limited to simple packaging solutions with cardboard boxes or reusable containers, GREIF-VELOX goes one step further: the model comprises complex bagging systems for ultra-light powders - including all relevant components. Customers receive a well thought-out complete package at a fixed monthly price.
With the GREIF-VELOX PaaS model, the entire packaging process is transferred to an end-to-end model. Tasks that would otherwise be distributed among various service providers - from financing and maintenance to material procurement - are bundled and coordinated centrally.
Flexible Business Models:
