Our Innovation Council, chaired by the VP of Operations, drives innovation across four key pillars each led by dedicated experts in process, technical development, product, and sustainability-led innovation.
At FPS, we view innovation as a core enabler of our sustainability ambitions and customer-focused development efforts. Rather than treating it as a standalone function, we integrate innovation across multiple dimensions ranging from process improvements and technical advancements to product design and environmental performance.
To ensure coherence and cross-functional alignment, our innovation activities are structured around four pillars: Process, Technical, Product, and Sustainability.
Our innovation governance is coordinated through the Innovation Council, led by our Vice President of Operations. Each pillar is guided by a designated leader: the Global OPEX and Safety Director for process innovation, the Global Technical Director for technical development, the R&D Director for product innovation, and the Global Sustainability Director for sustainability-led innovation.
This structure allows us to collaborate across disciplines, evaluate new ideas systematically, and ensure that innovation is aligned with our long-term goals.
Our research and development teams are supported by modern testing laboratories across 10 locations to implement advanced product innovation and operational efficiency. These facilities enable us to conduct in-depth material testing, product design iterations, and validation studies to ensure quality and performance under varying use cases.
We also promote a culture of continuous improvement across all teams. Through our internal “Re-think & Re-fresh” mindset, we encourage employees at all levels to challenge existing practices, contribute new ideas, and actively participate in the innovation process.
This approach allows us to remain responsive to market changes, customer feedback, and sustainability imperatives while embedding innovation into the fabric of our daily operations.
“Our packaging innovation reflects our commitment to sustainability by reducing material use, enhancing
recyclability, and minimizing environmental impact.”
