The innovative power of the product portfolio is to be strengthened through agile processes and procedures and the rapid integration of digital technologies in order to continue to set industry standards into the future. Underlining this strategic direction, Kiefel is presenting several groundbreaking machine innovations at the Kiefel Packaging Dialogue Days in October this year.
