Packaging Valley

Even before it was officially founded, Packaging Valley was referred to as an important location for packaging machine manufacturers by Prof. Dr. Hermann Simon in his book ‘Hidden Champions of the 21st Century’. He highlighted the rapid development of family businesses, which, like other hidden champions, are considered exemplary for successful business management. As author and head of the international consulting firm Simon, Kucher & Partners, Simon is considered one of the most influential figures in German business. Good to know: “Packaging Valley Germany” is registered and protected as a collective trademark. Packaging Valley Germany stands for bundled packaging expertise in the region and is communicated worldwide.
