The packaging journal is now also available to listen to. Together with TIGHTLY PACKED, the online magazine for interpack, our editorial team has launched the „packaging people“ podcast. 

„There's a lot to talk about, let's tackle it!“ This is the idea behind the new audio series from the packaging-journal editorial team. 

In the podcast format, editor-in-chief Jan Malte Andresen talks to people who enrich the packaging industry.
Because they are entrepreneurial personalities, drive innovation, had exciting ideas or want to change the world as start-uppers. 

We are now filling the last remaining gap in the everyday life of packaging people - or have you ever tried to read our magazine while driving?“

Now it is possible to engage in interesting conversations on the go. „We want to talk to those who are driving packaging forward, without page, line or minute limits,“ says the packaging-journal editor-in-chief, who has also been a radio presenter for decades and is therefore fully in his element. His goal: in-depth conversations that, in the best case, lead to new insights. 

Episode 1: The Schubert Group then, today and tomorrow

The first episode is all about a „packaging celebrity“. The guest is Ralf Schubert, Managing Partner of Gerhard Schubert GmbH. Together with Sales Managing Director Marcel Kiessling he gives a very personal look back at the history of the company that his father founded more than 55 years ago, „because he wanted a company - no matter what the company does,“ says Ralf Schubert. 

Schubert and Kiessling talk openly and personally about what gingerbread has to do with the company's rise, why Ralf Schubert didn't want to do anything with packaging at first and what upheavals had to be overcome.

And, of course, it is also about the current challenges: For example, how to deal with the fact that a computer chip suddenly costs 200 times as much. And why the Schuberts are building the world's largest ice storage facility in Crailsheim. 

As I said: there is a lot to talk about, let's get to work!
