Innovation process

Once the demand is detected, we start the innovation process. Usually, the innovation process is carried out by our R&D team. We have a large R&D team and engineering with more than 30 people working in that area.

Investments

An innovation process can last between 5 to 7 years if we are talking about a complete new development of a packaging system usually we are in this frame, 5 to 7 years.

Results

We start with our own resources and after probably 3 to 4 years we launch a prototype. A prototype is tested into the market, usually one year, then this prototype is converted to a pre-series. We launch 2-3 units of pre-series that will be also tested into the market during a couple of years. And finally we launch the end product.
