How does this work in practice?
A typical situation is when customers are faced with important decisions for their companies. This can be the case, for example, if they want to break into new markets or sectors - from a pure label manufacturer to the production of flexible packaging, for example. Another example could be when customers want to expand their product range in general. Bobst plans possible scenarios in close cooperation with its customers and can show them how to achieve this, which strategic directions they should take in their current and future environment may be the most suitable.
Another typical example is customers who have certain want to improve aspects or areas of their organisations as part of a holistic approach - for example, want to make their processes more sustainable. And are considering whether to produce flexible packaging from polymer materials or paper. Bobst has both practical expertise as well as an understanding of market requirements The company is familiar with all aspects of these topics - from the perspective of branded goods manufacturers, packaging manufacturers and consumers. The company also knows the range of solutions available. This enables Bobst to provide its customers with accurate advice and thus give them a decisive competitive edge.
Other clients may simply want general advice on how to improve their business model and ensure they are well prepared for future requirements. Or they may want to understand how they can one step ahead of their competitors can be.
