OUR STORY

Camm Solutions was initiated by Christoph Bertsch, a serial entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in building businesses, who was driven to solve the microplastic problem for one of his other companies. The CAMM idea resulted out of this quest. Supported by a diverse international group of shareholders representing the full CAMM value chain from raw material to recycling, close to €50M were invested to develop patented CAMM formulations and launch sustainable game changers like CAMM air pillows, stretch film and rigids. Today, CAMM embodies a practical vision of sustainability, proving that innovative ideas paired with entrepreneurial drive can create real-world eco-friendly solutions.
