... not just on paper at Schreiner Group in Oberschleissheim. When it comes to innovation, the specialists for labeling solutions pull together: every employee, together with their line manager, determines how they can contribute to the company's innovative strength. The idea behind this: A company can only be truly innovative if everyone pulls together. Schreiner Group sees a good climate for innovation as an important prerequisite for this. To this end, it runs interdisciplinary innovation workshops. However, theory alone is not enough: of the dozen or so suggestions for improvement that each employee submits each year, the majority are implemented. Investing in a good climate for innovation pays off: this is demonstrated by the 28 national and 72 international patents that were granted between 2009 and 2011.
