Mondi opens innovation hub for sustainable flexible packaging
On November 12, Mondi has officially opened FlexStudios, a ground-breaking innovation hub in Steinfeld, Germany, for co-creating sustainable flexible packaging solutions.
The new 2,300 m2 FlexStudios houses a research and development center, an analytical laboratory, pilot lines and a customer experience center. The new building brings pilot lines, testing capabilities and co-creation space together under one roof, reducing time-to-market for new packaging and paper solutions.

The experiential studios allows Mondi customers can actively participate in the innovation process, benefitting first-hand from the company’s extensive expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and customer-centric approach to driving sustainable change in the flexible packaging industry.
The ground floor of the hub is home to FlexStudios Innovate, a pilot facility to develop and demonstrate Mondi’s products’ performance. With FlexStudios Advance on the first floor, customers can benefit from a state-of-the-art laboratory and testing facilities.
The top floor of the building houses FlexStudios Inspire – an area for collaboration and research, to develop fit-for-purpose, sustainable packaging solutions that meet consumer expectations and goals. It includes an interactive creative zone and discovery showcase profiling Mondi’s extensive portfolio.
“This ground-breaking hub brings to life the way we work closely with customers to understand material complexities and how packaging impacts the entire product lifecycle. FlexStudios is more than just a building - it is an experiential space that will help shape the future of flexible packaging,” said Thomas Ott, CEO Flexible Packaging of Mondi.
