STI: expertise beyond expectations
Business units and strengths of the company
STI Group’s achievements and success are founded upon highly specialised facilities, three business units and a well-aligned network that collaborates closely with STI’s customers – domestically as well as internationally. All of these elements make STI one of Europe’s leading packaging material and display manufacturers, but it doesn’t end there. The company is a full service partner for everything related to POS merchandise presentation.
STI’s strengths include first class customer relations, innovative energy, creativity, quality and customer-specific industry and process know-how. The external strategy is supported in-house by a process-oriented organisation and consistent human resource policies.
The company complements its two core areas of competency – packaging and display – with services along the value chain. “This puts us in a position to improve our competitive standing sustainably and to render true support to our customers. In all that we do, the focus is always on the optimisation of processes and value-added chains,” explains Prof. Frank Ohle, CEO of STI Group.
STI Group has recently acquired Line Packaging Ltd in the UK, bringing the group’s offer to that market.
