Welcome to the world of sustainable packaging
Sustainability is responsibility
Ecology and sustainability are key guiding principles of today’s economy and society. Climate protection is an important driver of innovation in industry. For over 25 years, we have been setting standards in sustainable packaging technologies – for example with machines for recyclable mono-PE laminates or solutions that replace shrink tunnels in secondary packaging. These innovations reflect our long-term commitment to environmentally friendly processes and materials. We are proud to have supplied a stand-up pouch machine used to produce a pouch that won the German Environmental Prize. For B&B, sustainability means a holistic commitment – from machine development and the promotion of sustainable packaging materials to resource-efficient operational processes.
"Sustainability is not a trend, but a responsibility – now more than ever. As a company, we have a clear commitment: to create economic success in harmony with the environment and society. This means for us to consciously use resources, promote social justice, and create long-term perspectives. We act with foresight – for our employees, our customers, and the next generation."
Take responsibility. Implement ESG systematically.
We want to establish sustainable standards in the machinery industry, promote resource-saving solutions, and align innovations with environmental compatibility. In doing so, we consider both our location in Hopsten and our machines. Our goal is to use energy and materials efficiently - both in our own operations and for our customers.
We take on social responsibility – as a reliable employer in the region and as an active part of our community. Central to this are secure jobs, good working conditions, and the promotion of young talents. Through training, further education, and regional partnerships, we strengthen our role as an attractive employer locally.
We place great importance on transparency, integrity, and fair working conditions – both within our own company and along the supply chain. We stand for a values-based, future-oriented corporate management. Clarity, reliability, and a responsible approach to employees and partners shape our actions – today and in the future.

Social engagement
A company is only as strong as its people. That is why we want to create an environment in which our employees not only feel safe and respected, but can also realise their full potential. Good working conditions do not arise by themselves – they are the result of conscious decisions. At B&B, we are committed to ensuring that our employees feel comfortable, stay healthy and enjoy being part of our team. This includes ergonomic and healthy working conditions as well as flexible working models to better reconcile professional and private life.
We promote individual development through targeted training opportunities and rely on an open, inclusive corporate culture in which equal opportunities are taken for granted.
Our trainees are particularly close to our hearts: with personal support, shared team events and an active presence at apprenticeship fairs, we create a strong foundation for their career entry.
Moreover, our responsibility does not end at the factory gate. Through educational partnerships, collaborations with universities and our commitment to social and regional projects – for example in youth and grassroots sport – we make an active contribution to a sustainable society. In this way, together we shape a stable, fair and future-proof working environment – as an employer, training provider and partner on equal terms.

Corporate Governance
As a second-generation family business, B&B Verpackungstechnik stands for values-based, future-oriented corporate management. Our decisions are shaped by reliability, a clear understanding of values, and an awareness of our responsibility towards employees, business partners, and the region.
At the same time, we rely on innovation, flexibility, and digital resilience in order to respond proactively to new challenges and continuously drive forward our sustainable development. This combination of tradition and progress is the foundation for corporate management that creates long-term trust — both internally and externally.
“For us, sustainability is not a one-off project, but a continuous process that we, as a company, must actively shape.
The demands from the market, legislators and society are constantly growing – and we are taking on this responsibility.
By fulfilling our ecological, social and corporate responsibilities, we create the foundation for long-term sustainable and future-proof business development.”
