Open Innovation

An essential part of our R&D approach is the close cooperation with customers, suppliers, packaging manufacturers, other machine suppliers, universities, and research institutes.

The cooperation varies from single developments over longer development projects to larger product portfolios.

Syntegon also participates in publicly funded, pre-competitive research and development consortia to pave the way for the market entry of new technologies.

We are always open to new collaboration projects and welcome proposals that go beyond a simple supply relationship for pre-assembled products.
