Our mission is to create a foundation of trust between management, employees and our business partners. Our mission statement sets out our vision, our mission and the values that guide our actions.

As a medium-sized family business, we strive to be the leading full-service partner in our industry. Superior solutions for our customers, the highest quality standards, our entrepreneurial spirit and the uniqueness of our team all form the foundation for our lasting sustainable growth and growing company value.

We see it as our mission to support all of our existing and potential customers in the realisation of their ideas and lay the groundwork for a long-standing partnership. Since our inception in 1989, we have been proud to manufacture pioneering products for a variety of industries based on custom solutions using cutting-edge technologies while providing excellent service. Our staff of dedicated employees, our agility and our expertise make us a preferred partner. We turn our customers’ visions into reality!

To us, quality management is more than just a buzzword. As a DIN ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we face new challenges every day and thoroughly explore how we can continue to improve our processes, making them even more efficient.

We document and ensure consistently high quality through the use of our innovative IT-based host computer system and CAQ system. These tools make it possible for us to record and analyse all of the ongoing production data in real-time, which allows us to respond to changes as quickly as possible. Using this approach, we manufacture consistently high-quality products and, at the same time, monitor and document each cycle. Depending on the customer’s requirements, we can also carry out 100-per cent, application-specific checks through camera inspection.

Certificate “DIN ISO 9001:2015”

As a company with energy-intensive manufacturing processes, we are especially committed to responsible environmental and energy policies. Being conscientious when it comes to our use of resources is second nature.

All of the decisions taken in the company are guided by these special environmentally conscious criteria – which often go beyond the legal requirements. Employees are motivated to act responsibly through the training and education they receive on energy and environmental awareness.

When planning and constructing the new administration and development building, which was opened in 2022, the top priority was not only a modern, but above all a highly energy-efficient building concept. For this purpose, a new heat recovery concept was implemented in the company. This enables both the new building and the existing building to be heated 100% with previously unused waste heat. For this purpose, 3 state-of-the-art air screws provide a constant 80°C heat in summer and winter. In summer, the waste heat that is not needed is converted into cold with an adsorption cooling machine using a minimum of energy.
This means that there is no need for electricity-intensive cooling machines to cool the building.

Further actions, such as generating our own energy from renewable sources demonstrate our efforts.

What is TOP 100?
M. Schmid: TOP 100 is the only comparison of companies in the German SME sector that does not award individual innovations, but rather the innovative strength and innovative success of companies.

How are the most innovative companies identified?
M. Schmid: After registering for the competition, we had to pass a detailed innovation analysis. The questions on the subject of innovation management form the basis for a well-founded scientific analysis. At the end the most innovative and future-oriented companies are ultimately awarded with the TOP 100 seal – including us.

Why did Kunststofftechnik Schmid participate in TOP 100?
M. Schmid: We are convinced that we are an innovative and sustainable company. In the past years, we have taken many actions to remain in the market, acquire new customers, secure jobs and set the course for the next generations. We wanted to prove this in the competition. The title TOP 100 shows not only ourselves, but also our employees, customers and suppliers that we take the topic of future viability and innovation seriously and that it is an important part of our daily activities – true to our motto “Boundless dimensions”.

„Boundless dimensions” – what does this mean exactly?
M. Schmid: Innovation or innovative strength is not just a strategic approach, it runs like a thread through our entire company. We question our actions every day, looking for new ways and solutions to advance not only us as a company, but also our employees and customers.

What does it mean to you to be an innovator?
M. Schmid: Innovation or innovative strength is not just a strategic approach, it runs like a thread through our entire company. We question our actions every day, looking for new ways and solutions to advance not only us as a company, but also our employees and customers. Being innovative does not only mean to develop new ideas, products and processes, but also take responsibility towards our society and environment.

What role do your employees play when it comes to the topic of innovation?
M. Schmid: The most important of all. A company can only be innovative if its employees have the chance to express their innovative strength and are also heard. We give all our employees a lot of freedom in terms of creativity and innovation.

What else makes your company’s innovativeness visible?
M. Schmid: Our innovativeness is not only demonstrated by our innovative strength in process and product development. Our open corporate culture and employee benefits, modern marketing presence, trade fair and online presences and, finally, state-of-the-art buildings and premises express our technological leadership in its entirety.
