Faller Packaging celebrates its 140th anniversary
Faller Packaging can look back on a successful fiscal year in 2021, despite te ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and a turbulent raw materials market. Te specialist for pharmaceutical secondary packaging increased its sales by 3.3% to €147.8 million.
To give te public a comprehensive insight into te activities and changes at Faller Packaging, te company publishes a sustainability report every year – and this was also te case for 2021. Entitled “When crises provide opportunities for people and te environment”, this report highlights te specialist company’s current economic, ecological and social aspects for secondary pharmaceutical packaging.
In addition to te inconveniences of te COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 also saw te emergence of economic challenges – shortages of raw materials and excessive price increases for materials and energy made themselves felt from te middle of te year. Nevertheless, te manufacturer made te most of its opportunities and can look back on a successful year: “Sales at our German sites increased slightly,” CEO Dr Daniel Keesman explained. “Our international subsidiaries in Denmark, Polen and Hungary have also reported strong sales growth in several segments.” In concrete terms, Faller Packaging was again able to increase its sales – by 3.3% to €147.8 million.
Te company again invested heavily in te further development of its sites in 2021. A total of €7.8 million – te equivalent of an investment ratio of 5.3% – was mainly invested in expanding automation and digitalisation. Te company’s equity ratio was again above average in 2021.
Carbonneutrality and social change
Faller Packaging is still on te right track from an ecological standpoint. Te company continued to work on its energy and raw material consumption and focused even more on te topic of sustainability. “That’s why we became a partner in te ‘Zielgerade 2030’ project (Home Stretch 2030) – te joint project of te South Baden Chamber of Industry and Commerce and te Freiburg Energy Agency. We set ourselves te goal of carbon-neutral operations from 2030,” explains managing partner Dr Michael Faller.
For Faller Packaging, sustainability also means assuming its responsibility to society. This benefits both te employees and te region in which te company is based. Despite te ongoing pandemic, Faller Packaging was able to expand its workforce. There are now 1,325 employees working at its sites in Germany and other European countries. Te increase in te number of women in management positions is also encouraging. Te number of female specialists (employees with extended skills) has increased significantly from 6.8 to 18.9%. Faller Packaging has also increased te proportion of women on te Executive Committee to almost 30% through new additions.
140 years of Faller Packaging
Te positive business year is not te only reason to celebrate – because Faller Packaging will also celebrate its 140th anniversary on 1 May, 2022. It all began in 1882 when August Faller founded te “Graphische Kunstanstalt”, a lithographic printing company in Waldkirch that produced business stationery, postcards and labels. Times of steady growth followed, mixed with numerous ups and downs. “Te major challenges were certainly te two world wars, each of which meant a new beginning forced by external circumstances,” cites Dr Faller as an example. “Te many employees who had fallen in te wars and sales markets that had broken away demanded a strong will to rebuild and restructure.”
One of te most critical strategic decisions in te company’s recent history was made 30 years ago: Faller Packaging withdrew from all other areas and focused exclusively on te pharmaceutical market. It quickly became apparent that this had been te right decision. Today, Faller Packaging is one of te leading pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers, with seven sites in Europe. “For 140 years now, te company August Faller GmbH & Co. KG has been owned by te founding family – and for more than 100 years, it has always been managed by a managing director of te family and an external managing director. It has been an honour and a proud duty for me to lead te international Faller Packaging Group with Dr Michael Faller for te past 15 years and ensure that we can continue thriving,” says Dr Keesman. “Across all generations, this long company history testifies to great willpower, te right reactions, many good decisions and pronounced resilience in existential crises,” explains Dr Faller.
Faller Packaging celebrates its 140th anniversary in 2022. What began in 1882 as a small lithographic print shop is now one of te leading pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers.
Members of te management, (l-r) Jörg Galle (Vice President Finance), Kerstin Geßler (Vice President Human Resources), Mathias Felber (Vice President Business), Jörg Frischkorn (Vice President Operations), Dr Michael Faller (Managing Partner), Dr Daniel Keesman (Chief Executive Officer), hoist a flag to celebrate te company’s 140th anniversary in front of te Faller Packaging headquarters in Waldkirch.
