"If a person is off work for a long time, or even permanently, because of back problems, that costs a great deal of money. Many people still fail to take this into consideration." In fact: Back problems due to frequent bending or working with a bent posture are amongst the most frequent occupational illnesses, as is proven by the statistics.

Either they showed me a huge machine, or simply said 'take a broomstick with a slot in the end, and use that to apply the strapping..." So Kimmerle set to work himself, and in 1999 invented his first pallet strapping machine. In 2002 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the International Inventors Exhibition in Geneva and the German Inventor's Prize, and founded the firm of ErgoPack GmbH.
