In December 2013, AUER Packaging announced the purchase of the entire Technology Park site in Amerang. The prestigious building complex was built in 2002 on a plot measuring almost 50,000 square metres for an international electronics company. The architecture and furnishings are suitably spacious and of a high standard of quality. The headquarters of AUER Packaging, with their own showroom, have already been situated in the main block of the Technology Park for many years.

With the purchase of the whole site, the up-and-coming Bavarian firm is unlocking additional production capacity with very short distances between the production facilities and the sales and administrative departments. In the future, new product lines can also be manufactured under cleanroom conditions in the new halls.

A renowned commercial vehicle manufacturer, known throughout the world for producing high-performance lorries, buses and engines, has chosen to incorporate AUER containers into its manufacturing processes. The prestigious company recently placed an order for over 70,000 R-KLT containers. The strict quality standards for the KLT series ("small-load carriers") released by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) enable highly automated handling in all manufacturing processes. AUER Packaging offers good value for money, high-quality materials and manufacturing, as well as tailor-made solutions compliant with the VDA 4500 standard, which outlines a detailed set of requirements for small-load carriers in the automotive industry.

Due to a rapid growth in orders, AUER Packaging needs to expand its resources in order to meet the increasing global demand for high-quality plastic containers. To this end, the Amerang-based company recently announced that it had ordered four new state-of-the-art injection moulding machines. Company founder Robert Auer and CMO Philipp Auer see these purchases first and foremost as an investment in service quality. The additional production capacity will significantly reduce delivery times and allow for an even faster response to customer requests.

Over the past few years, AUER Packaging has continuously been able to achieve double-digit growth rates. According to the two managers, this has largely been due to the successful expansion of its worldwide distribution and the introduction of new products specifically in its best-selling ranges.

AUER Packaging is proud to be providing high-quality containers to Europe's largest automobile manufacturer: The Volkswagen Group has commissioned the Bavarian family-owned company to deliver a total of 900,000 RL-KLT containers.

AUER Packaging views VW's order as a credit to the high quality of its KLT containers which are specially optimised for the automotive industry. The dimensions and many of the specifications for these containers are clearly laid out in the strict quality standards issued by the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry). This guarantees highly effective handling during the manufacturing and assembly processes, and also in particular during high levels of automation.

The K 2013 trade fair, which was held in Düsseldorf from 16 to 23 October, was all about plastic and what you can do with it. AUER Packaging product ranges were on display in a wealth of different sizes and versions as well as in a host of different colours. The brightly coloured exhibits really caught the eye. The message is simple: "AUER containers can be produced in practically any colour or shade the client wants." The relatively low set-up costs for changing colour are no longer really an issue, even with small and medium-sized batches - you can now order a set of containers in your company's colours and in line with your corporate identity.

In showcasing the brand new system trolleys for rack boxes, Euro containers, and tipping boxes, AUER Packaging also underlined its great capacity for innovation. The clever pull-out mechanism for Euro containers makes it impossible to pull out more than one container at a time, which in turn ensures that everything remains securely stacked at all times.

Here are a few snapshots of our stand at the trade fair (please click to enlarge):

Following on from AUER Packaging being awarded top marks by the Hoppenstedt Group for its credit rating in 2012, the Amerang-based company was once again given straight As by Hoppenstedt in 2013. Of the 4.7 million companies investigated, only an exclusive circle of 4.8% achieved this top rank – yet more proof of the strong economic performance and successful business strategy of AUER Packaging.

Each year, the iF Packaging Design Award recognises exceptional packaging solutions that stand out from the crowd thanks to their design, functionality and ergonomics. The judges have now attested to these characteristics of the current generation of reusable containers by AUER Packaging: these practical containers, which can either be stacked into one another or on top of one another as required, were among the winners of the iF Packaging Design Award 2013!

December 2012

AUER Packaging's appearance at FachPack 2012 in Nuremberg was met with a very positive response. The company presented an entire range of new products at its impressive 200 m² stand: the new boxes for racks and material flow are expected to be available from the end of October, as are the solid-surface cleanroom pallets.

The practical tipping boxes and the small load carriers (KLT) are other innovative products which are expected to be available from December.

AUER Packaging has developed an extremely robust and functional solution compliant with the VDA-4500 standard of the automotive sector and has therefore commissioned an entire series of KLT container tools.

The SAVE FOOD initiative was established by Messe Düsseldorf GmbH and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to raise society's awareness of food losses.
One of the goals of the initiative is to bring together all those involved in food value creation, and thus help them to develop effective measures. Another of SAVE FOOD's pressing concerns is raising consumer awareness.

AUER Packaging not only makes a major contribution to the diligent and respectful handling of foodstuffs with its high-quality, hygienic special products for the food industry, it also supports the initiative with a generous donation.
