How to unlock the immense power of creativity within a network of expert companies ... Designing decorative and functional surfaces has never been so challenging, whether in home appliances, consumer electronics, or the automotive industry. Let’s look at the automotive industry: The speed at which innovations spread has increased rapidly. The first plastic components were introduced in the early 1920s but were not fully established until roughly four decades later. Digital controls were first integrated into series production in the 1990s – and around 2010, touchscreens were already standard. Today, electromobility is progressing even faster, and with autonomous driving, the next megatrend to significantly change the automotive industry, and surface design in particular, is already on the horizon. ❓ How can we not only keep pace with change but also stay one step ahead and create solutions that will define the standard tomorrow? 💡 This is perfectly possible by bundling expertise. In the KURZ Group, we’ve experienced firsthand the power of collaboration and sharing knowledge. As a family-owned company with a long history, our deep-rooted values of unity and mutual support have been instrumental in fostering this spirit of collaboration. When developing sophisticated design concepts for plastic surfaces, each company in our group involved in a project brings unique expertise to the table. By combining our knowledge and learning from each other, we can truly drive innovation in various areas, such as automotive, home appliances, or consumer electronics. The video below offers a brief insight. In addition to shared knowledge, we consider the following factors as decisive for long-term success: 💡 Creative out-of-the-box thinking In an interdisciplinary team spread across our company group and several countries, we look at established solutions and processes from entirely new angles and bring in unexpected perspectives. 💯 Using the expertise of individuals Not all of us can do everything, nor should we. It is much more important to recognize the strengths of each individual within our company group and bring them together as efficiently as possible. 💻 Making clever use of digital tools Digitalization opens brand-new opportunities and sets the course for location-independent teamwork. 🤝 Benefit from synergies and local communities As a group of companies with global operations and local networks, we have a diverse business community, which is a valuable source of inspiration, new projects, and collaborations. The open exchange of knowledge and the willingness to learn from each other lay the foundation for long-term success. Together, we develop great ideas, which remains the most crucial step to true innovation. This enables us to meet very specific customer requirements and offer tailor-made, flexible, and innovative solutions as well as the best possible support. #innovation #teamwork #network #plasticdecoration #leonhardkurz
