The secret of success

Even though the market has ample competition and is constantly undergoing changes, Coroflex is able to react quickly and flexibly to the needs of the markets and can adapt to its conditions due to a lean organization.

According to the company, its success is based on its commitment to high quality and its great innovative power. In case of Coroflex the quality begins with the first talk to a customer and continues throughout the entire production and service chain from material to processing and all the way to service. When choosing the raw material, the company focuses primarily on the appropriate selection of suppliers. Each of them must be characterized by delivery reliability, impeccable quality flexibility in responding to changing demand, support in optimizing logistics costs and competitive offers.

Innovation power is the second important pillar of the company’s success. Coroflex prides itself on having a wide range of research, development, and the high speed of its innovations. The special thing about Coroflex is that it develops and tests its insulation and sheathing materials by itself. This way, its engineers can implement an idea immediately in the technical center and test the result in the company’s test laboratories.

Coroflex provides its business partners with unique and modern technologies as well as innovative solutions that meet the highest quality requirements. By constantly striving to optimize processes based on a lean organization, the company supports its business partners in their development, allowing them to achieve a competitive advantage.

The most important thing for Coroflex is its development and adaptation to the changing needs of the market. The company’s team is its greatest asset and strength, and therefore the development, both in Poland and in Coroplast as a whole group, would not be possible without the enormous commitment and professionalism of the employees.

Poland is an important production site for Coroflex. In recent months the investments in machinery were an important aspect of the company’s development. These investments increase Coroflex’s flexibility and versatility. The expansion of its machine park enables the company to introduce new products, optimizes its processes as well as increases its capacity and flexibility.

Environmental protection is another very important aspect of the company’s business policy, which is why it is currently working on the regranulation of waste, which will be an important step towards a sustainable production.

For its efforts and success, Coroflex Poland was awarded the “ Business Gazelles “ prize in 2020 and received the European Business Award for the best German Business of 2019 at a gala in Warsaw.
