7 April 2025
In November 2024, Mondi inaugurated FlexStudios, a new 2300m² research and customer experience centre in Steinfeld, Germany. This state-of-the-art facility aims to foster the co-creation of flexible packaging solutions and promote a more sustainable future.
With the opening of FlexStudios, Mondi are emphasising their commitment to sustainable innovation. This state-of-the-art centre is a place where ideas take shape, giving customers the opportunity to work together to develop and refine fit-for-purpose packaging solutions. By focusing on collaboration and smart design, they are paving the way for a more sustainable packaging industry.
FlexStudios spans three floors of interactive space. One floor is dedicated to FlexStudios Inspire, an area for collaboration and creativity to develop fit-for-purpose, sustainable packaging solutions that meet consumer expectations and goals.
After experiencing the FlexStudios Inspire floor and vistors and customers are then guided to the FlexStudios Innovate floor, where feasibility checks begin.
“Our pilot facility is here to test and develop new packaging solutions,” says Catia Costa, R&D Centre Manager at Mondi FlexStudios. “We have a wide range of equipment: extrusion coating/lamination, printing and lamination equipment (solvent free, solvent based, water based), slitting as well as packaging and filling lines for different materials.
The third part is FlexStudios Advance, which contains the laboratory and testing facilities. Here, as explained by Elisabeth Schwaiger, Head of Innovation, Mondi Flexible Packaging, “customers can benefit from our state-of-the-art expertise on the packaging produced. With advanced testing and materials characterisation, we can accelerate the process.
“The R&D centre aims to demonstrate our hands-on approach to developing sustainable packaging. We look forward to our dedicated work with our customers here at FlexStudios. Combining their knowledge with ours will allow them to meet their sustainable packaging goals.
