Heidelberg is to reorganise Gallus’ headquarters in St Gallen, Switzerland, developing it into a competence centre for digital label printing.
This is part of Heidelberg’s overall commitment to expand its support for the growing label market.
The company has already revamped other Gallus Group sites in Switzerland and Germany through targeted investments and divided into competence centres. It says that it will cut the ribbon at the new St Gallen site before the end of the year, with the new facility set to be dubbed the ‘Gallus Experience Centre.’
Across all departments around 160 people work at the St Gallen facility, where Heidelberg says it will be introducing ‘comprehensive innovations in equipment, service, software and ink.’
Heidelberg CEO Dr Ludwin Monz commented, ‘With targeted investments in the Gallus Group, we want to gain further momentum in the growing label market. The reorientation of our site in St. Gallen into a competence center for digital label printing underlines the high strategic importance for Heidelberg in the packaging sector. We welcome, that the commitment of entrepreneurs Marcel and Roger Baumer will create an innovative environment in St. Gallen from which we can also benefit.’
