At Greiner, we believe that sustainable business is built on putting people first. Our family-run organization has been thinking in generations since 1868, when Carl Albert Greiner founded the company as a cork manufacturer in Nürtingen, Germany. Today, as a global leader in plastics and foam solutions with 10,318 employees across 31 countries and 107 locations, we maintain the same entrepreneurial courage and commitment to values that have driven our success for over 155 years. Our culture is rooted in openness, appreciation, reliability, and the pursuit of excellence - values that guide how we work together, not just what we produce. Our three operating divisions - Greiner Packaging, NEVEON, and Greiner Bio-One - demonstrate how innovation and responsibility can coexist. From pioneering sustainable packaging solutions like our K3® cardboard-plastic combination to providing critical medical and laboratory products, we push boundaries while staying true to our commitment to a circular economy. Through our Blue Plan sustainability strategy, we've set ambitious goals for climate protection, circularity, and empowering our people. We foster innovation through Greiner Innoventures, our start-up hub that supports sustainable business ideas. At Greiner, you'll find a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated, where long-term thinking replaces short-term gains, and where every team member contributes to shaping a more sustainable future.

Zaimler builds the context infrastructure for the agentic era. Their platform automatically discovers domain knowledge, maps relationships, and gives AI agents the semantic understanding to operate with precision at scale. Enterprise data today is fragmented across dozens of systems with no shared context, meaning, or structure, and that's why most enterprise AI is failing. The shift from copilots to autonomous agents is creating an entirely new infrastructure layer, and zaimler is building it. The company creates knowledge graphs that support real-time inference, built for systems that need to reason, not just retrieve. Their platform enables enterprises to make their data AI-ready from the start: automating ontology creation, data mapping, and retrieval-augmented reasoning at scale. Founded by Biswajit Das, a Data Infra veteran and former Chief Architect at Visa, and Sofus Macskassy, who built one of the largest knowledge graphs in production at LinkedIn, the team brings decades of experience running data infrastructure and ML research. Backed by top VCs, zaimler partners with Fortune 500 companies across insurance, travel, and technology to deploy their semantic platform into some of the world's most complex and high-volume data ecosystems.
