Underlying technology is a B2B e-commerce platform with EDI integration for automated ordering, environmental classification tools (Green Star System™ and Green Card), and a self-service webshop (antalis.dk). Revenue is generated through unit-priced product sales with a DKK 2,000 minimum order, supplemented by expert consulting services for packaging optimization, hygiene, and EPR/PPWR regulatory compliance. The go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise account managers with field sales for larger accounts plus self-serve webshop for mid-market and long-tail customers. Antalis A/S is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KPP Group Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japanese conglomerate listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange with consolidated revenue of ~€4.2 billion in 2025; Antalis Group constitutes the parent's European, Latin American, and North American distribution operations and has been actively consolidating the European packaging market through 2026 acquisitions of Hein Verpackungen and Speidel Verpackungen in Germany.
