MONDI has opened a new hub in Germany for co-creating flexible packaging solutions that will shape the future.
FlexStudios is a new 2,300m2 building, located in Steinfeld that offers three floors of interactive collaborative space.
The experiential studios have been built so that Mondi customers can participate in the innovation process, benefiting from the company’s expertise and technology. By bringing pilot lines, testing capabilities and co-creation space together under one roof, Mondi aims to reduce time-to-market for new packaging and paper solutions.
The top floor of the building houses FlexStudios Inspire – an area for collaboration and research, to develop sustainable solutions that meet consumer expectations and goals. It includes a creative zone and discovery showcase profiling Mondi’s portfolio.
The ground floor is home to FlexStudios Innovate, a pilot facility to develop and demonstrate Mondi’s products’ performance. With FlexStudios Advance on the first floor, customers can benefit from laboratory and testing facilities.
Thomas Ott, CEO flexible packaging at Mondi, said, “This ground-breaking hub brings to life the way we work closely with customers to understand material complexities and how packaging impacts the entire product lifecycle. With FlexStudios, we are offering our customers a space to explore all our sustainable packaging and paper solutions. We are excited to collaborate with our customers on their transition to sustainable solutions. FlexStudios is more than just a building – it is an experiential space that will help shape the future of flexible packaging.”
