INNOVATION
Constantly explore new ways of working with others and identify the best ideas and technologies, wherever they may be.
FOCUS ON INNOVATION
We work hard to get a deep understanding of a market's need. We identify technology gaps within the same market because we believe innovation grows at the intersection of market needs and emerging technologies. By being innovative we help our customers get better products to market, more quickly and with a higher degree of confidence.
At Stratus Climate Screens, we strive to take innovation leadership in the markets we serve. Innovation is fundamental to our business, to our customers' businesses and to creating a sustainable future.
INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE
As humanity digs deeper, builds higher and explores further, innovations to eliminate our impact and reverse our damage have become a societal necessity and corporate responsibility. We know that as a company with a deep conscience, we must play our part and use our professional knowledge, skills and resources to innovate solutions that make a meaningful and positive contribution to humanity.
KEEP OUR CUSTOMERS KEEPING FORWARD
Innovation is at the heart of Stratus Climate Screens ambition to grow sustainably. Science, Technology and Product Development are central to our plans to keep providing consumers with brands that improve their lives while having a positive impact on the environment and society.
We work closely with our customers and are committed to investing in long-term business relationships to help develop new products and technologies. We work closely with them to ensure they get all the support they need to enable them to design new products and applications. Nothing is too big a challenge
INNOVATION
Innovation will solve some of the greatest challenges facing our world. All our innovations are based on key insights into customer’s needs and wishes. We aim to develop products that have purpose and that customers choose again and again. We work on a wide portfolio of projects, combining the search for breakthrough technologies with the constant drive to respond to competitors, move into new markets, and make our products more sustainable.
The products we develop, whether by ourselves or through our extensive partnerships with leading scientists, academic institutions, suppliers and specialist businesses, play an essential role in our ambition to make a positive impact on the world around us. Science and Technology will be key in improving health, wellbeing, nutrition and reducing environmental impact – we want to be at the forefront of this work.
FROM INNOVATION TO CREATION
At Stratus Climate Screens, conceptual design for new products doesn't begin until we have done our homework - and done it thoroughly. The first thing we do is to get a good understanding of our customers' objectives.
Then, we research and review current products in the category. Our innovation process goes through three main stages:
Research, development and product launch:
RESEARCH
Our research aims to bring together the best thinking and ideas from wherever they exist – not only do we pull together the best scientific expertise from within Stratus Climate Screens, but we also work closely with other specialist companies.
DEVELOPMENT
Design teams take our breakthroughs in Science and Technology one step further, turning unique insights into the products that consumers want and need. Development and testing of new technology takes place until it fits the product description – perfecting a formulation so that the product functions well and is safe, or developing climate screens that suits the product format and minimises environmental impact.
Next, we test the product thoroughly – first to ensure it is safe and will live up to our standards of performance, then with our customers to make sure it meets their expectations.
LAUNCH
Our Design teams draw on local knowledge – such as customers preference, the regulatory framework, legal considerations and competitor products – as they ready a product for launch into a new market. They work closely with colleagues in Marketing and the customer to make sure the new product can be manufactured efficiently.
