Anwendungsbezogen denken, innovativ handeln und technisch sauber umsetzen.
These are the opening lines of a company profile (chemical manufacturer). Although the meaning is clear, finding something equally snappy in English is proving difficult this morning.
Can anyone help put this succinctly into English? Thank you in advance.

German term (edited):
technisch sauber umwenden
Selected
a technically professional implementation
Or "to implement in a technically professional manner".
"sauber" here is really not intended as "clean", but rather as technically proper or professionally, IMO.

Armorel Young
: Since this is a marketing headline, I'd be inclined to omit "technically" and just say "Practical thinking, innovative action and professional implementation"

technically sound implementation
For the entire phrase, I'd think of "hands-on thinking/mindset, innovative work/activity, technically sound implementation" although the noun structure appears a bit heavy to me. Alternatively, "adopting a hands-on approach/mindset, acting innovatively, implementing solutions in a technically sound manner" (but this would be the exact opposite of "snappy" in my opinion).

... "implementing technically sound solutions" would be a bit shorter.

execution/executing with/of technical prowess
More variations possible, of course. Unfortunately, the source text sounds less than snappy so the translation has to be snazzed up a bit.

technically competent implementation
or, technically competent handling
I am not sure whether "handling" would be adequate enough to substitute "implementation / execution", but then in a marketing text, it comes close to it.
