4 4 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH ONE LOCATION INTERNATIONAL GOALS Noelle + von Campe has been a traditional owner-managed company since 1866 an international medium-sized company with local roots in Boffzen/Lower Saxony. We have consistently adhered to our corporate philosophy over the course of this development: never rest on one s laurels, push forward developments, place accents on the glass container segment and always remain personal and independent. KNOW-HOW MEETS CREATIVITY PRODUCTION MEETS PEOPLE TRADITION MEETS MODERNISM Our products combine craftsmanship that has proven its worth for around 150 years and the latest technical know-how in keeping with a timeless design and innovative functionality. This is provided by more than 465 employees who never lose sight of one thing with all their know-how the necessary creativity. The particular strength of Noelle + von Campe lies in the competence and commitment of our employees. We know how important every individual is for our company and therefore also for our customers: a permanent direct contact guarantees a high degree of reliability, flexibility and dedication in the spirit of a partnershiporientated concept. Our state-of-the-art machinery is housed partly in modern industrial buildings and partly in historical production halls history comes alive in our company. Maximum production speeds and a high level of automation are standard in our company.

5 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 5 FACTS AND FIGURES Noelle + von Campe is growing steadily. Many of our products are delivered all over the world. Our main focus is the European single market but there is also increasing demand for our highquality products overseas.

6 6 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH SUPPLIER AND CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS: AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR CORPORATE CULTURE Thanks to domestic and foreign cooperative partners as well as direct export activities worldwide we always maintain partnership-based contact with our customers based on mutual respect and trust. At the same time, we draw on a worldwide network of efficient suppliers. As a quality and environmentally-conscious company, we place the same high demands on our suppliers as we place on ourselves: innovative strength, competitiveness and sustainability in particular are important selection criteria in all pricing considerations. At the same time, we support our suppliers on the issue of sustainability and continuously work together with them to optimise products and processes. And our customers also ultimately benefit from this locally and internationally.

8 8 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH EFFICIENCY OUR ASPIRATION ALONG THE SUPPLY CHAIN Efficiency in all processes is a prerequisite for success to ensure that our products can hold their own in international competition. We achieve this objective through the use of state-of-theart mechanical and plant engineering as well as by continuously optimising our processes, amongst other things. MIXTURE / MELT All raw materials are melted into a homogeneous mass in melting tanks that reduce CO 2 and NO X emissions. This process is supported by additional electric heating. SHAPING Our products are produced on servocontrolled IS machines that have a significantly lower energy consumption than conventional systems.

9 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 9 COOLING / STRESS RELIEF ANNEALING QUALITY CONTROL PACKAGING / STORAGE The stress-relieving process for glass jars takes place in energy-optimised systems. Temperature-controlled lehrs with downstream cold-end coating lines ensure the best possible result on the surface of the glass. State-of-the-art optical inspection systems equipped with high resolution camera systems check each individual glass jar and reject defective products immediately. State-of-the-art packaging systems and robots palletise the glass jars and allocate them to the finished goods warehouse. Fully automated conveyor systems optimise the transport routes in the storage area.

10 10 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH ONE IDEA INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS The versatility of glass is as unique as customers needs as demonstrated by Noelle + von Campe s extensive product range. Thanks to our innovative spirit and high motivation levels, we are able to embrace customers ideas, work together to develop solutions and realise customer wishes in the best possible way. It is therefore not surprising that more than half of our product range represents individual solutions for our customers. PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY: THE BASIS OF ALL SOLUTIONS Our highly qualified development and consul ting team regards itself as a service provider for customer requests. Our work philosophy is to courageously try out things that have never been done before and yet not lose sight of what is feasible. The result is glass packaging that always impresses with its quality in terms of design and functionality whether it s a standard product or new development. Short approval and decision-making paths, stateof-the-art technical equipment and above-average flexibility in production also facilitate the rapid development of new products. In this way, we help to accelerate the launch of products entirely for the benefit of our customers.

11 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 11 We create product developments directly in partnership with the customer often directly on-site: with a daringly innovative approach, pragmatism and an eye for what is technically feasible. CHRISTOPH WILLUWEIT, AREA SALES MANAGER

12 12 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH FROM THE IDEA THROUGH TO MARKET LAUNCH Purchasing decisions are often influenced by interesting and functional packaging. Our customers therefore want a distinctive and individual solution for their brand product. We work together with you to develop this! IDEA & DEVELOPMENT DESIGN & PROTOTYPE TEST RUN The design, brand identity, target group and marketing channels these are just some of the requirements that we discuss together with our customers. Our development and design team draft proposals and present them immediately using 3D models. We can therefore present the labelling, closure techniques and overall appearance to our customers as soon as possible. We produce sample jars of the product for test purposes (filling trials at the customer s premises). We evaluate the test runs together with our customers. The customer gives his approval if the sample jars pass the test run and the production tools are produced.

13 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 13 PRODUCTION MARKET LAUNCH A quantity of 200,000 to 400,000 glass jars can be produced on each machine on the state-of-the-art 8 and 12 station production lines every day depending on the size of the glass jar. Flexible delivery arrangements, transparent contract management and the timely provision of the glass packaging facilitate the planned launch of the new product.

14 14 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH For our company it is important to have a direct contact who will listen, respond flexibly to our needs and who is reliable: quasi from person to person. We found this partner in Noelle + von Campe even from the very outset. SUSANNE SCHÖNING, FOUNDER OF ZWERGENWIESE NATURKOST GMBH

15 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 15 ONE MATERIAL A MULTITUDE OF OPPORTUNITIES All glass is special, just like our customers: small food manufacturers, regional distributors, large food companies and creative individual businesses they all want to work with a partner on an equal footing. COOPERATION MEANS UNDERSTANDING An interview with Susanne Schöning, founder of Zwergenwiese Naturkost GmbH Zwergenwiese has been producing 100% organic vegetarian delicacies at its company site in Schleswig- Holstein for 36 years and is growing steadily. The com pany now offers more than 100 different types of spreads and other specialities in the organic food trade. Why did you opt for glass as the packaging for your products from the outset? S. Schöning: Glass is an ideal packaging for us. It is 100% recyclable and therefore fits with the organic concept. Our high-quality products also remain fresh and well protected in hygienic and safe packaging. Glass is neutral in taste and resistant to heat or cold, for example. What do you expect from the design and functionality of the glass packaging? S. Schöning: The safety of the glass is our top priority. The quality of each individual jar must be right so that we have no problems using them and consumers end up with a high-quality product in safe packaging. The design is a secondary consideration. Here we need a partner to implement our ideas and wishes. The 150,000 glass jars that pass over your conveyor belt each day require appropriate logistical planning. To what extent does Noelle + von Campe support you in this respect? S. Schöning: We value flexibility and transparency from our partners. Short communication channels, a direct contact and good accessibility are just as important for us. We found all this with Noelle + von Campe. If we take a look ahead to 2030 together, what challenges will glass packaging have to face up to in the future? S. Schöning: We see a reduction in the use of raw materials, the protection of the environment through energy-saving production and the training of qualified personnel for the further development of glass packaging as challenges for the future. We would like to thank Susanne Schöning for the interview and look forward to our continued cooperative partnership.

16 16 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH RESPONSIBILITY FOR A QUALITY BRAND Noelle + von Campe stands for quality. This is not just a promise but a corporate culture that we live and breathe. We have established an effective quality management system that is of course certified in accordance with the official DIN EN ISO 9001 standard. These quality demands apply to all operating processes in each area of our company. GLASS IN ALL ITS FACETS BUT GLASS THAT S SAFE Our glass packaging meets the highest safety and hygiene standards required by law. It goes without saying that we assume our important responsibility towards our customers with due care and attention. Besides our own internal regulations, we consistently comply with the so-called HACCP concept that is applicable in the EU. This preventative system is strictly regulated and includes precise guidelines on how possible safety hazards for the end user can be eliminated from the outset. We adapt the size and shape of the glass packaging individually to the product requirements so that it gives our customers product a distinctive look. There are also virtually no limits in terms of the design of the glass surfaces: whether you want high gloss or matt surfaces, ultra-modern metallic coatings, stoneware effects (with or without coloured speckles) or a unique bi-coloured fading effect everything is possible if it is right for your product.

18 18 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH ONE THOUGHT SUSTAINABLE RESULTS Sustainability and environmental protection are a top priority at Noelle + von Campe: the energy consumption, emission of pollutants and material usage in all areas of the company are regularly scrutinised to keep the impact on the human and natural environment as low as possible. PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY: LONG-TERM ADDED VALUE FOR ALL CUSTOMERS Glass is a raw material and a recyclable material at the same time: it can be fully recycled without any loss of quality time and time again. It therefore not only makes an important contribution to environmental protection, but also impresses with its cost-effectiveness as a raw material. It reduces costs and conserves resources. However, the most important raw material is glass itself when it is rec y - cled. The ratio of recycled glass used in the industry in newly produced packaging amounts to 60% on average (source: This is possible because glass does not lose its high quality as a raw material, no matter how often it is recycled. The special quality of the sustainability of glass can be explained with help of its production. In general, almost only purely natural raw materials are used, mainly from Germany. This protects the environment as long transport distances are eliminated.

20 20 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH MACHINE USE Heat recovery The additional heat generated by the process referred to below enables us to provide a supply of hot water for staff showers, for example. ENERGY CONSUMPTION ENERGY CONSUMPTION EFFICIENT RENEWABLE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS Efficiency The use of energy-efficient production, sorting and packaging systems Energy mix Robots for palletising and de-palletising MATERIAL USAGE Electricity generated from waste heat CO 2 -free electricity for the production process as well as heat for the heating system are produced through a cogene ration plant with the hot exhaust gases from the melting tank. Our energy management system is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001:2011. Environmentally friendly Raw materials are predominantly sourced from Germany this means short transport distances. Our environmental management system is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2011. Recycling 65% of the material used consists of recycled glass: this makes a major contribution to energy savings.

21 NOELLE + VON CAMPE GLASHÜTTE GMBH 21 Much has happened in glass production in terms of energy efficiency and emissions. Energy consumption is lower than ever before thanks to innovative melting technology: manufacturers have been able to reduce their energy consumption by nearly 40 percent in the last twenty years (source: In addition, state-of-the-art filter systems and melting tanks ensure that emissions are considerably lower and well below the legal limits. Noelle + von Campe has always and will continue to face up to these constant challenges associated with environmental issues.
