Udo Vogt is an experienced entrepreneur, innovator, and senior executive with over 30 years of leadership across advanced manufacturing, industrial technology, and sustainable materials. He has co-founded and led several pioneering companies driving disruptive innovations in pulp molding, digital printing, and precision tooling.
Since 2015, Udo has been Co-Founder, Partner, and Co-Owner of Celwise AB (Sweden), where he has played a central role in the invention, co-creation, and next-generation development of breakthrough pulp molding technologies. His expertise spans tooling design, software qualification, supplier development, and full value-chain integration—from first client contact to automated large-scale production. He also leads strategic partnerships outside Celwise’s core
competencies, ensuring innovation through collaboration.
Previously, Udo co-founded Formatrix GmbH (Germany, 2014–2016), which specialized in advanced tooling for legacy pulp molding machinery, and Formia AB (Sweden, 2012–2015), where he spearheaded technology and tooling development, supplier networks, and coordinated R&D projects with universities and industrial partners.
Earlier in his career, Udo served as General Manager of ITW Morlock GmbH (2005–2012), where he expanded sales in China by 40% and initiated disruptive research on high-speed, high-quality digital printing on molded fiber packaging. Before that, he held senior leadership positions at Schieman & Ruwel GmbH and Ruwel AG (1995–2005), making the company one of Europe’s most profitable PCB manufacturers, and at Ruwel MBE AG (Switzerland, 1998–2001), advancing micro-via technologies for high-end printed circuit boards.
Udo began his career at Wandel & Goltermann GmbH (1985–1995), a global leader in electronic measurement instruments, where he transitioned product development from analog to digital CAD and held managerial roles in design, standards, assembly, and configuration management.
He holds a Master’s degree equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, with a specialization in factory management and thermodynamics.
Yes. With advanced process engineering and production optimisation, eco-friendly packaging systems can match the structural performance and efficiency of traditional plastic manufacturing.
Companies seeking to transition toward fibre-based systems often work with eco-friendly packaging manufacturers to develop scalable production strategies.
Eco-friendly packaging is increasingly adopted across:
Food and beverage
Consumer electronics
Cosmetics and luxury goods
Industrial transit protection
As environmental regulations tighten, demand for fibre-based production continues to grow.
