Our involvement in associations
To drive innovation together with partners and make the packaging industry more sustainable, we are involved in important industry organisations and trade associations. Above all, we work on sustainability solutions that continuously reduce the CO2 footprint of our industry.
Dr Jan Klingele's commitment is representative of our company's philosophy. Since 2020, he has been Deputy Chairman of the International Corrugated Case Association (ICCA); from 2016-2022 he was also President of the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (FEFCO), of which he is currently Vice President. From 2012-2016, Dr Jan Klingele also headed the German Association of the Corrugated Board Industry (VDW). Klingele has a long tradition of commitment to industry associations: Dr Werner Klingele, father of Dr Jan Klingele, was one of the co-founders of FEFCO and ICCA.
"Sustainability is a process that never ends, because we want to and must continue to reduce our carbon footprint. To this end, our specialist departments work closely together internally, but also maintain a constant dialogue with industry associations and external interest groups. Close cooperation and joint projects with scientific and research institutions also ensure the transfer of important expertise to our company. On this basis, we develop new, state-of-the-art concepts and innovations for our customers."

Initiative for tomorrow's climate targets: the model paper factory
The "Model Factory Paper" initiative meets the EU climate targets with pioneering research work and interdisciplinary projects. The Klingele Group is one of the founding members of the initiative.
The main aim of the "Model Factory" is to identify new methods for more efficient paper production with fewer resources. Research will also focus on alternative raw materials and the use of digital technologies in the industry. In this way, the paper industry is taking responsibility and initiative for the climate targets of tomorrow.
