Klingele - Innovation with responsibility

We combine creativity, technology and sustainability to create paper and packaging solutions that impress today and will stand the test of time tomorrow.

At Klingele, innovation is not about short-term trends, but about well thought-out, practical solutions that benefit customers, the environment and society in equal measure. As a manufacturer of corrugated cardboard, packaging and paper, we work with our partners to develop ideas that move markets - and implement them with the highest quality and responsibility.

Our understanding of innovation

More than just technology - a holistic approach

For us, innovation means constantly scrutinising existing processes and products and developing them further. We combine decades of experience with state-of-the-art technology to create paper and packaging solutions that are functional, resource-efficient and visually appealing. Interdisciplinary teams from development, production, sales and sustainability work hand in hand.

We focus on the four types of innovation: product, process, business model and service innovation and follow an agile innovation methodology called design thinking to systematically transform creative ideas into marketable solutions.

Cooperation and research

Thinking ahead together

We do not develop innovations on our own - but in close dialogue with our customers, partners and research institutions. In pilot projects and interdisciplinary workshops, we develop solutions that are market-ready and practical from the outset.

Artificial Intelligence Research Hub

A head start through intelligent solutions

With our AI Research Hub, we specifically research and utilise the potential of artificial intelligence to offer you as a customer real added value. By using state-of-the-art AI technologies, we optimise development and production processes, shorten project lead times and increase the quality of our packaging solutions.

The result: faster time-to-market, more precise results and innovative concepts that strengthen your competitiveness - today and in the future.

The Klingele Co-Creation Arena

Innovation that takes you further

In our co-creation arena in Limburg, we work with you to develop customised packaging solutions - quickly, creatively and practically. By using state-of-the-art technologies such as virtual reality, you can experience your new packaging designs realistically in 3D, evaluate them at an early stage and optimise them in a targeted manner.
