Promoting innovation in the area of sustainability

Sustainability is our core competence and part of our DNA. Therefore we want to consciously promote innovation in this area, regardless of the material and area of application.Because with so many products and areas of application, we can't limit ourselves to just one material for packaging. We are delighted with the many great solutions and improvements across all material segments.“
