As a summary of the interview I conducted with INNOVATION Magazine, I can highlight the following points that I believe are crucial to the success of my company SaarGummi Neo: - it is not a problem per se to use #corporateinnovation in a company, but rather how to support the organization in its implementation - especially in a traditional working environment, it is important not to lose sight of the goal and to believe in the success of the idea - innovations must fit into the company‘s strategy and take long-term changes in (mega) trends into account - new technologies offer huge potential for traditional manufacturing industries, especially in the examples mentioned in the areas of #digitalization, #sustainability and #additivemanufacturing.

What unique approach does SaarGummi Group take towards #innovation at the company, according to Sven Müller, Director of Innovation at the SaarGummi Group and Managing Director of SaarGummi Neo? “Unlike many companies who declare themselves innovative just because they created an innovation department, we decided to be deliberate and different by making ours its own legal entity,” says Sven. “We did that on purpose, as I like to think of it, to build a speedboat rather than a big cruising ship which is slower and harder to turn. We wanted to be as agile as possible within the rules and procedures of the Group.” Discover how this innovative strategy is driving creativity and technological advancement at the global leader in auto sealing systems in our exclusive interview. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eZbpvsNp With appreciation to project partner Smart City System Parking Solutions GmbH.
