Our People
Innovia Films holds a leading global position in the markets in which we choose to compete and this global success is underpinned by continuous investment in technology, plant and most importantly, our people. We are one of only a handful of genuinely innovative companies in the films business today and are at the forefront of the development of products such as NatureFlex™, a biodegradable and home compostable cellulose film, which is based on renewable raw materials.
Characteristic of our business culture, are flat, regional organisational structures, with lines of communication that are short and flexible. Our employee development programs, benefits and reward structures are regionally based, so that they are relevant and progressive. Our emphasis on internal communication is mirrored by the close working relationships we have developed with our customers and suppliers, which enable us to respond to them quickly and anticipate their changing needs.
Our 1400 or so employees work from one of our 4 production sites and 18 sales offices across Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. They are committed, loyal experts in their respective field, who contribute enthusiastically and wholeheartedly to the success of our business, in many different ways, such as:
• researching and developing new or enhanced products and processes;
• selling and marketing our products;
• developing partnerships with our customers;
• manufacturing our films;
• building and maintaining our production facilities;
• recruiting, training and developing our employees;
• implementing environmental initiatives;
• supporting the activities of our Purchasing, IT/IS, Human Resources and Finance teams;
• managing our employees.
We believe in investment which supports and enhances the talents of our people, which is why the company continually invests in training and personal development. In the UK, this investment has been recognised by our 'Investors in People' accreditation and our National Training Award. In addition to our local training and development programmes, we have global programmes which bring together employees at all levels from around the world.
Our key values of ‘Innovation, Imagination, Courage, Accountability and Integrity’ underpin the way we work, and the way we communicate and relate with our customers, suppliers and employees. These values are supported by committed individual performance, interdependence, partnership and team working.
A Quality Accredited organisation, committed to workforce diversity and equal opportunities for all our people, we encourage and welcome applicants to join Innovia Films that share in our commitment to develop excellence in products, customer relationships, people and performance. Our business is not for the faint-hearted, but for those who are courageous enough to make success happen. We expect a lot from our employees, but in return, we offer interesting, varied, rewarding and fun careers.
