District President Dr. Ullrich visits DUO PLAST AG
Experiencing sustainability in action
It was a very special day for us at DUO PLAST AG when we recently had the pleasure of welcoming District President Dr. Christoph Ullrich and the District Administrator of the Vogelsberg district, Dr. Jens Mischak, to our headquarters in Lauterbach. Our factory gates were wide open, ready to give them a closer look at our work and passion for sustainable packaging solutions.
A welcome visit and exciting insights
From the moment Sven Bernhard and Johannes van Horrick, our managing directors, welcomed our guests, it was clear that we at DUO PLAST put our heart and soul into our work. Together with our 160 employees, we work hard every day not only to produce high-quality packaging films, but also to do so in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
During the subsequent factory tour, we presented examples of what really drives us: our mission to achieve more with less. We are particularly proud of our stretch film, which consists of up to 65% post-consumer recyclate – in other words, materials that have already been used as stretch film before being recycled. This is how we manage to protect the environment while also manufacturing top-quality products for our customers.
Honouring sustainable innovation: appreciation for our commitment
We were very pleased to see how impressed Dr. Ullrich and Dr. Mischak were by our innovative strength and commitment to sustainability. “Duo Plast is an impressive example of how responsible business practices and business success work hand in hand,” said Dr. Ullrich. Receiving this recognition confirmed to us that we are on the right track.
District Administrator Dr. Mischak also found clear words: “It demonstrates that sustainability is not just a trend, but is firmly anchored in the day-to-day business of DUO PLAST.” Of course, we are particularly pleased to receive such feedback, because that is exactly what we aim for – to get a little bit better every day, while always keeping the environment in mind.
Together into the future
The day ended with inspiring discussions about the future of the packaging industry and the challenges that lie ahead. At DUO PLAST, we firmly believe it is possible to make our world a little more sustainable in the future with a strong team, innovative ideas and a constant pursuit of environmentally friendly solutions. We do this not only here in Lauterbach, our company headquarters in in the middle of Hessen, but also at our second production site in Sünna, Thuringia. This enables us to efficiently produce our environmentally friendly products from two locations and to respond even better to the needs of our customers.
