At our Customer Innovation Center, we advance our research activities into more sustainable technologies, processes and materials.
Our customers benefit here from sample productions and machine demonstrations that are optimally tailored to individual requirements.
Be one step ahead with your products
Lighter packaging? Increased stability? Or can material distribution be optimized so that the stack height can be reduced? These are all typical examples of development challenges that we deal with in research and development. We have the experience, the specialists and the opportunities to handle such projects ourselves.
Focus on application: Manufacturing of samples and prototypes
In our Customer Innovation Centers,various types of machines for processing plastics, as well as for processing natural fibers for the production of samples and prototypes, are available for our customers.
A NATUREPREP KFP for high quality stock preparation of natural fiber pulp and the NATUREFORMER KFT series systems are located there for demonstrations and testing. The KFT can manufacture various fiber products, e.g. bowls, cups, secondary packaging for electronics, coffee capsules or flower pots. Tools are also tried out on the systems, machine tests are conducted and sample production is carried out in small batches. Prototype testing also takes place here.
Continuous optimization
In order to stay competitive in the marketplace, it is important to keep up-to-date with the latest state-of-the-art production lines in the marketplace and to aim for competitive comparisons. After various analyses, we can provide information about possible changes to optimize product quality and output. We also offer training that is tailored to your needs.
Prototyping
Our expertise makes your prototype concept successful. We produce samples with your product design and your materials on our own thermoforming machines. Further downstream automation like rim rolling, printing, sealing and sleeving can be tested.
Sample Production
We offer you the opportunity to execute trial runs on our own thermoforming machine. After a minimal investment in a simple matrix tool we quickly supply your desired sample.
