The constant quest for improvements and new solutions is what drives the product and process innovation team. They work to create new designs, finishing options, coatings, surfaces and materials.

The developers look for potential advancements through a wide range of technology, including nano technology, active inks, RFID technology and ePaper, just to name a few examples.

Their insights flow directly into the development and production process. Example of the team's work includes the structured Steiff packaging and Multiformline, deep-drawn cardboard and corrugated board.

Product and process optimisation are also focal points.
