Corporate

Bemis, a global manufacturer of packaging products and applied graphics, hired PRA to create a customer experience space to showcase and support the design and manufacturing capabilities of Bemis packaging.  Bemis wanted a space that would spark breakthroughs and foster the bold thinking and close collaboration that their clients and partners have come to expect.

An existing office building was transformed to surround visitors with an immersive experience in the brand and products. Clients are invited to touch down in the client lounges before heading off to work with Bemis designers and engineers in various labs, a test kitchen, a working café, and a variety of office and conference spaces.
