Rigid plastic and paper packaging manufacturer Paccor has opened its new Center for Development & Innovation (CDI) at its Zell headquarters in Germany.
The new facility is said to provide a one-stop facility for the creation of ideas, designing, prototype and sample development of innovative packaging products.
Complete with a showroom exhibiting product novelties, prototypes and the existing Paccor product range from its manufacturing units around Europe, the CDI also features a design studio supported by a “mold & tool shop” with state-of-the-art machinery, such as a 3D scanner, digital printer, rapid prototyping equipment, CNC machines, a lab thermoforming line and auxiliaries.
Paccor director for innovation & technology, Helmut Ruland, says: “For the first time ever, the whole idea generation, design and packaging development process will take place under one roof, which allows for a smooth and accelerated transition from research and development to launch.
“Our research and development teams are provided with the very best equipment and we have managed to unite communication and innovation within the company.”
The Paccor CDI will also serve as a conference centre with modern infrastructure in a convenient location, open for customer events, workshops, trainings and seminars.
“Building the Center for Development & Innovation is a crucial move in preparing for the future growth and remaining at the forefront of the rigid packaging sector,” says marketing & development director Joanna Grochowska.
