Mondi has opened a brand-new innovation hub in Germany which houses a research and development centre, an analytical laboratory, pilot lines, and a customer experience centre under one roof.
FlexStudios is a brand new 2300 m2 building, located in Steinfeld, Germany, that offers three floors of collaborative space.
The experiential studios have been built so that Mondi customers can actively participate in the innovation process, and make use of its expertise and state-of-the-art technology.
By bringing pilot lines, testing capabilities and co-creation space together under one roof, Mondi hopes 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. It includes an interactive creative zone and discovery showcase profiling Mondi’s portfolio.
The ground floor of the hub is home to FlexStudios Innovate, a pilot facility to develop and demonstrate product performance. Meanwhile, the FlexStudios Advance unit on the first floor is a laboratory and testing facility.
Thomas Ott, CEO Flexible Packaging, Mondi says: “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.”
