Even luxury kitchen appliances from Thermomix can withstand drop tests if they are wrapped in eco-fiber casting from Klagenfurt - the cardboard professionals from Goerner are shaking up the market with cardboard masché and can even replace plastic in the food sector. Chocolate cookies will soon be completely "green" on the shelves.

Klagenfurt entrepreneur Elisabeth Goerner did not celebrate the 100th anniversary of her family business last year. "I don't like that much attention," she waves it away. She would rather talk about a project close to her heart - revolutionizing the world of packaging with environmentally friendly fiber casting instead of plastic layers.
