About us
Our motivated founding team consists of long-time friends Nils Bachmann, Sophia Scherer, Lisa Antonie Scherer and Henning Tschunt and combines different professional backgrounds, experience and expertise. We are united by the conviction that business has a serving function within society. Together we pursue the mission of establishing ecologically and economically sensible packaging solutions. We are united in our desire to make a proactive contribution to preserving the natural foundations of life – the prerequisites for our economic activity. This is why our name PROSERVATION is a neologism that alludes to our basic motivation by combining the English terms ‘preservation’ and ‘pro’ (for; advantage; but also: professional/proactive).
Since its foundation in November 2022, the PROSERVATION team has grown to seven employees. We want to continue to offer young talents a meaningful workplace with fair conditions.
Our mission statement & values
Our vision is a world in which all packaging is ecologically sound. We are united by the conviction that business has a serving function within society.
We fundamentally reject growth as an end in itself. By focusing on regional value creation, we bypass global competition in terms of time, cost and quality. Instead, we think in terms of local cooperation and look for genuine synergies for the environment and society.
Packaging with reason
PROSERVATION’s mission is to establish ecologically and economically sound packaging solutions. We want to identify opportunities for change and combine the protection of packaged goods with the protection of our natural livelihoods. That is why, from the very beginning, we attach particular importance to ensuring that the change in business we want to stand for follows a coherent and consistent set of values.
Our ideals
That is why we have agreed on five ideals that we prioritize in our business activities and in our dealings with our stakeholders and our natural environment.

Netzwerk
We are aware that a change in economic activity in favor of a future worth living is only possible with united forces. Since the pre-founding phase, we have been active in various value-related initiatives and have built up an extensive, cooperative network. Not facing the coming challenges alone gives us a sense of security. We are grateful and welcome any help, because we know that different perspectives will improve the quality of our strategic decisions.
