Alder Packaging partners with Simex to offer sustainable packaging solutions
Alder Packaging has formed a regional manufacturing partnership with Simex, a Colombian injection moulding manufacturer, to enhance its sustainable packaging offerings.
This collaboration aims to provide Central American brands with a resilient, nearshore manufacturing option amidst evolving tariff policies and global supply chain challenges.
Alder will showcase the custom samples from its collaboration with Simex at this year's Luxe Pack New York event in the US on 7 and 8 May. These include recyclable formats and high post-consumer recycled content solutions, which align with the current demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
Alder Packaging co-founder and COO Sarah Haffey said: 'We're combining Simex's deep manufacturing expertise with Alder's engineering and sustainability focus.
'This partnership offers our clients a regional solution that reduces emissions, shortens lead times, and helps them stay agile in today's complex sourcing environment.'
Simex, established in 1969, focuses on beauty components production, including mascara wands and fragrance caps. Its longstanding relationships with brands underscore its efforts in innovation and quality in the packaging industry.
Simex commercial manager Santiago Vera said: 'We're proud to bring our decades of manufacturing experience to the Alder team that prioritises sustainable innovation. Together, we're elevating the future of beauty packaging.'
The partnership with Simex allows Alder to support clients in diversifying their supply chains. With manufacturing options across South America, the US, China, and the EU, Alder is positioning itself as a versatile supplier in the face of increasing tariffs and changing trade policies.
Haffey added: 'At Alder, we're transparent on pricing at the factory to how tariffs are impacted based on the location - it's important for brands to know that the tariffs are based on where the finished goods are assembled, not always where the packaging is made.'
"Alder Packaging partners with Simex to offer sustainable packaging solutions" was originally created and published by Packaging Gateway, a GlobalData owned brand.

State Department sued over Trump deal to house migrants in El Salvador prison
A coalition of democracy groups sued the State Department on Thursday, challenging the Trump administration's agreement with the government of El Salvador to house more than 200 migrants deported to a notorious prison. The groups, represented by the left-leaning legal organization Democracy Forward, said the government took 'unprecedented action' to transport migrants living in the United States 'beyond the reach of U.S. law.' El Salvador is reportedly being paid some $15 million by the Trump administration to house migrants in the country. The lawsuit marks the first legal challenge to the deal between Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. 'That action shocks the conscience,' the complaint reads. 'It also violates the law.' The suit cites the extreme conditions within the CECOT megaprison, known by its acronym in Spanish, where prisoners sleep in crowded cells with bunks three levels high and are not allowed to go outside or have visitors of any kind. 'Executive branch leaders have stated that the government plans to continue availing itself of the Agreement, sending more people, including potentially U.S. citizens, to indefinite detention in what is an effective black site,' the complaint states. The challengers alleged that the State Department's actions bypass federal immigration law and international treaties while violating constitutional rights to due process, legal counsel and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. They say the Administrative Procedure Act requires agency actions, like the agreement, to be 'both reasonable and reasonably explained.' 'The Agreement is neither,' the complaint reads. During a trip to El Salvador to visit the mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) was told financial considerations were at play as they kept the man locked away. Van Hollen had pressed Salvadoran Vice President Félix Ulloa about why Abrego Garcia was being imprisoned when he had no criminal history in either country. 'His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT,' Van Hollen said during an April trip to the Central American country. Numerous migrants have challenged Trump's plans to deport them to El Salvador, including under the Alien Enemies Act, but the suit is the first to challenge the agreement between the two countries. Five groups brought the lawsuit: Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, Immigrant Defenders Law Center, Immigration Equality and California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice. Skye Perryman, Democracy Forward's president and CEO, called the practice 'unAmerican' in a statement. 'Our lawsuit makes clear: No president — past or present — can buy their way out of the Constitution to disappear people behind a paywall of impunity,' she said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Taiwan offers Guatemala aid as it guards its diplomatic flanks from China
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan is offering aid to its lone Central American diplomatic ally, Guatemala, as it attempts to stave off efforts by China to win away its last remaining partners. During a meeting Thursday with his visiting Guatemalan counterpart Bernardo Arevalo, President Lai Ching-te said the two countries would 'strengthen exchanges and cooperation as well as scholarship programs for young people, provide training for high-tech and information and communication as to push forward prosperity and development.' Arevalo identified public health, education, agriculture, technology and infrastructure as key areas where Guatemala was seeking to increase its capacity. 'In the future, we shall continue to strengthen bilateral relations based on the solid foundations built in the past,' the president said. Such assistance is key as Taiwan attempts to hold the line against advances by China, which typically offers big-ticket items such as highways, railways and stadiums to lure away Taiwan's allies, often expecting repayment at market rates. Winning over Taiwan's allies brings China closer to its goal of diplomatically isolating Taiwan in order to demoralize the population and aid Beijing in its goal of 'peacefully unifying' with the island it claims as its own territory. Taiwan's offerings tend to be more modest and pragmatic, largely because it is a parliamentary democracy where all such spending must be approved by the legislature. It also offers the model of a functioning democracy in a world increasingly leaning toward hardline authoritarian regimes. Still, China has steadily reduced the number of Taiwan's diplomatic allies to just 12 after launching campaigns in the Caribbean and Central America to win over countries such as Peru.
