Art sponsoring at the Von der Heydt Museum
Coroplast has been a boon to the regional art scene for more than ten years. In cooperation with the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, every year we support high-calibre exhibitions and not only invite art lovers and representatives from the worlds of politics and commerce, but also our employees to exclusive guided tours together with the artists and the museum curator Dr Gerhardt Finckh.
Since 2007, Coroplast has promoted numerous exhibitions at the Von der Heydt-Museum and the Von der Heydt-Kunsthalle, including “Sven Drühl: Works 2001–2013”, “Maike Freess”, “Tony Cragg – Retrospective – Parts of the World”, “Tobias Zielony - Photography and Video” and “Thomas Wrede – Sceneries”
The CoroArt Award
In 2012, our passion for art led us to initiate the CoroArt Award, which we have regularly presented ever since. In collaboration with the School of Art and Design at the University of Wuppertal, Coroplast rewards young, talented artists and designers for the outstanding creative works they make using company products. With this idea we want to give budding young artists a creative challenge, a platform to present their works, and promote them in general. After the presentation, we purchase many of the works to exhibit them at our premises, sharing our passion for art with our employees.
2017, the art award, endowed with a prize of 3,000 euros, was presented for the fifth time. This year's motto: „Transformation“. The prize-giving ceremony was held on 8 November 2017, the prizewinners were selected by a jury consisting of several experts:
- Prof. Katja Pfeiffer, University of Wuppertal (BUW), School of Art and Design
- Dr Gerhard Finckh, Director of the Von der Heydt Museum
- Natalie Mekelburger, Chairwoman of the Board of Management at Coroplast
- Constanze Krieger, Head of Marketing & Communication at Coroplast

CoroArt for employees
– art within arm’s reach
One glance at the various Coroplast locations tells you that art enjoys a high priority at the company. Whether conference rooms, corridors or staff offices: a great number of pictures and sculptures adorn the walls, transforming the company into an exhibition area. Dotted among the works of celebrated people are the creations of talented young artists and designers – such as the winners of our CoroArt competition.
These works make Coroplast a place of creativity and motivation, where art is an integral element of inspiration in our daily endeavours.
“Nadel der Medici” goes to Coroplast
In honour of its commitment to the world of art, Coroplast was presented with the prestigious “Nadel der Medici” business award in the category “Best Overall Corporate Concept” in 2016.
The award is regularly given to companies and institutions from Düsseldorf and the surrounding region that are particularly amenable to art and promote it at their various locations.
In 2016, the prize-giving ceremony of the “Nadel der Medici” was held in the festive atmosphere of the “Lambertussaal” in Düsseldorf and attended by Thomas Geisel, Mayor of the City of Düsseldorf, as well as over 100 guests from the worlds of commerce, art, culture and politics.
Promoting the “Wuppertaler Kurrende” boys’ choir
Coroplast has supported the “Wuppertaler Kurrende” boys’ choir for many years. With its 90-year tradition, the Kurrende is among the outstanding cultural institutions in the Bergisches Land region.
Working together with numerous kindergartens and schools, the Kurrende provides key impulses for the musical education and cultural identity of our children. It therefore plays a unique educational role in the region, which the family-run company Coroplast is happy to promote.
