Packaging supplier Key Solutions has acquired a factory in Serbia, located in Golobok, 80 kms from Belgrade. Established only six years ago, the French company has already sales offices in the Benelux, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States and China.

“The benefit for replicators and studios is quite simple,” says owner and managing director, Jean Noel Fournillier. “Quicker lead time and very competitive prices. We also bought our own shrinkwrapping machines and we offer fulfillment services in Serbia as well.”

Key Solutions has also established an in-house design company called Art Up, to provide graphic design services for audio, video and game titles as well as for non-DVD products.

The company, which has two in-house designers in Paris and one in Guangdong, China, hopes to develop design activities in the US as well since they have an office in California.

"We always did the graphic design services ourselves but in the past many clients provided their own design. Now, with Art Up, we are able to create artwork for the clients that don't have design services in their companies," said Fournillier.
