Consultation as a starting point

At the Packaging Competence Center (PCC), your requirement is turned into a robust concept.

At KOCH, consulting does not begin with the machine, but with your entire process chain. In the Packaging Competence Center, we analyze requirements, assess feasibility and cost-effectiveness, and develop concepts for assembly, filling, and packaging. 

This creates the basis for well-founded decisions and a solution that can later be reliably implemented as a turnkey project.

Three areas of consulting. One common goal.

In order to turn requirements into reliable solutions, clear priorities in consulting are needed. That is why we guide you through three key areas: PCC for concept and validation, sustainable consulting for economically viable packaging solutions, and project management for structured implementation.

This way, your task becomes a clear path along the entire process chain.

Holistic solutions for your product’s process chain: from development to packaging.

Successful solutions do not arise at a single process step. They are created when product and packaging development, assembly, filling, and packaging are considered together from an early stage. 

This is exactly where our consulting comes in: 
We make dependencies visible, evaluate interfaces, and create a reliable foundation for the next steps in your process chain.

We think future

The Packaging Competence Center as the heart of consulting

At the Packaging Competence Center (PCC), requirements become tangible. Here we test materials, simulate processes, and evaluate concepts under real conditions.

The PCC combines consulting and practical validation, thus creating the basis for decisions that are technically reliable, economically sensible, and feasible in implementation.

Showroom

With our sample packaging solutions, you will discover possibilities and inspiration for your own specific product and requirement.

Development and testing facilities

Our teams of experts will work with you to develop and test individual solutions for packaging materials, packaging design, packaging technology, automation, and digitalization.

Technical center with an extensive machine park

You can test your prototypes and small production runs on our machines, including testing devices and other equipment for analyzing various aspects of packaging.

Confidentiality and security

The confidentiality and security of the prototypes and processes is ensured thanks to separate test zones with directly adjoining meeting and work areas.

Consulting approach

This is how we turn insights into concrete next steps.

In the Packaging Competence Center, we create the foundation for well-informed decisions. After that, it is about structuring insights, identifying potential, and deriving a clear path for your next steps.

Our consulting approach translates analysis, testing, and process understanding into concrete recommendations for your further development. This provides guidance for the next steps in your process chain—professionally sound, transparent, and tailored to your requirements.

Step 1

Initial situation

At the beginning, we record your initial situation in a structured manner and with a view to the entire process chain. This creates a reliable picture of your current requirements, framework conditions, and development goals.

  • Overview of product and packaging portfolio
  • Overview of existing equipment and processes
  • Presentation of production flow, layout, and interfaces
  • Goals, strategy, and expectations

Step 2

Analysis and evaluation

In the next step, we assess requirements, interrelationships, and development potential. In doing so, we examine how product, packaging, and processes can be meaningfully further developed and where opportunities or limitations exist within the current set-up.

  • Analysis of existing and future packaging requirements
  • Identification of optimization approaches
  • Evaluation of technical and process-related interactions
  • Classification of possibilities and limitations within the existing set-up

Step 3

Discussion and recommendation

In conclusion, we bring together the results and derive clear recommendations for the next steps. This provides you with a sound basis for decision-making regarding the further development of your process chain.

  • Joint final workshop to classify the results
  • Discussion of options for action and priorities
  • Recommendation for the further development of product, packaging, and process concepts
  • Basis for the next project steps

Sustainable Consulting

Plan in compliance with PPWR and make economical decisions

We evaluate packaging concepts in terms of sustainability and regulatory aspects and develop solutions that combine ecological goals with industrial feasibility.
