Do it yourself! This is the theme of our new catalogue. As one of the leading manufacturers of hobby, craft and creative materials in Europe, we are taking this opportunity, having completed a makeover of our corporate design, to present to you our wide-ranging portfolio of creative materials.
All the products in this catalogue now wear their new “guise” with the colourful parrot logo, representing diversity. The diversity in the variety of colours, products, packaging and technology that we, as a manufacturer producing exclusively in Germany, create for our customers.
As we have always done, we also offer easy-to-understand information on the individual categories of materials, and also practical advice taken from our application technology. In cases where more in-depth information may come in useful, or a video is available, we provide QR codes with direct links to our website.
We have a long-standing, trusting partnership with many of our over 400 customers, some of whom have been with us since the company was established in 1996. We have had the opportunity to grow together with safe, high-quality products bearing the “Made in Germany” tag. Our team of 51 highly motivated full and part-time employees considers this term to be a pledge of value that encompasses more than simply geographical origin: our customers can, of course, be assured of the fact that products bearing the Creartec brand, as well as private label products supplied by us, comply with all the applicable legislation in force in the EU. To ensure this, we have invested significant sums over the past few years in special software and in our analytics, to enable us to carry out control tests not just sporadically but as a matter of routine. We outsource all microbiological examinations, and any special tests that we are unable to carry out ourselves, exclusively to accredited testing institutions.
Starting in the development stages of products, we take care to formulate them in such a way that they are as free of hazardous substances and as environmentally friendly as possible. When it comes to products for which this is not necessarily possible, for instance cleaning agents and solvent-based varnishes, we endeavour to convert the raw material base to renewable raw materials, and are often able to offer water-based alternatives that are similarly efficient. Sustainability in production, to us, means focusing on the efficiency of resources, saving energy, and avoiding waste. We are, of course, happy to offer our customers who sell under their own brands packaging solutions based on different levels of recycling quality.
