Who we are

Independent, and set up to stay that way.

Goerner is independent and not bound by any capital market requirements. This gives us the peace of mind to think in decades rather than quarters: to grow and invest on our own terms where our customers need us.

In our case, short distances count. Flat hierarchies in the order processing For you, that means: a single point of contact, quick responses and solutions even for requirements that elsewhere would have to go through three different authorities. We think in terms of our customers' tasks, not in terms of responsibilities.

What we stand for

Four principles on which our work can be measured.

Individually developed

No off-the-shelf products. We develop each packaging to suit the component and the customer’s process, from the prototype to the series production.

Processes that compute

We provide not only packaging but also process optimization: more productivity, fewer handling steps, lower purchasing and disposal costs.

Flexible under pressure

Short-term requirements and special solutions are not an exception for us. As long as the customer’s line is running, the packaging is ready.

Thought in a circular manner

The cardboard offcuts of one production are the raw material of the other. Molded pulp is made from the offcuts of folding carton production.

Quality & Responsibility

What you are allowed to check instead of having to believe it.

For buyers in industry, what matters is not the promise but the proof. Therefore, our processes are designed for verifiability, not for brochures.

  • Quality management system at all production sites.
  • Quality management according to ISO 9001:2015.
  • ISTA case tests for packaging in electronics.
  • New developments close to food are tested by independent laboratories in direct contact with the product.
  • Regular customer audits at our plants at all times.
  • Zero errors is the goal of our quality policy: errors should not even occur in the first place.
  • Raw materials from renewable sources; recyclable depending on the material or industrially compostable.
  • No substances hazardous to health in our products.
  • Traceable, licensed production resources; non-recyclable materials only through licensed recyclers.
Locations

We go with our customers.

Three countries, one level of production. New plants are being built where our customers manufacture, as was the case most recently in Mexico for the supply of the American market.

What is created here comes from a group of specialized branches. Each one focuses on its own expertise, all with the same commitment to quality.

Cardboard

folding cartons and laminated corrugated board. Packaging that protects, stacks and looks good on a shelf.

molded pulp

Natural fiber molded parts, designed for component and application. Nest bar, shock-absorbing, reusable.
