Dietmar Salchenegger, Managing Partner of Design Center, brings together global strategy, creative vision, and a passion for sustainable packaging to help brands make a lasting impact.
With over 20 years of experience in global procurement and packaging strategy at a multinational corporation, Dietmar learned that true value isn’t just found in cost efficiency—it’s created when packaging becomes a tool for brand storytelling, sustainability, and consumer connection.
Packaging was where his curiosity took hold. It wasn’t just about materials and logistics—it was about how packaging could shape brand identity, influence buying decisions, and drive environmental responsibility.
In 2012, Dietmar became Managing Partner of Design Center—a pivotal move that allowed him to combine his strategic expertise with a growing passion for design thinking, innovation, and purpose-led packaging. Today, he leads a team of designers, engineers, and strategists delivering packaging solutions that are functional, emotional, and future-ready.
