The Durst Group, manufacturer of digital printing and production technologies, is celebrating the 25-year anniversary of its branch in Lienz, Austria.
Founded in 1999, Durst Austria has become an essential part of the Durst Group and aims to continuing growing in the coming years said Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of the Durst Group. The branch is a shining example of technological innovation and commitment to the highest quality standards, he added.
The 25-year anniversary celebrations include an exhibition of group portraits and street banners by South Tyrolean artist Klaus Pobitzer. This exhibition is a continuation of the ‘Inside-Out’ project previously implemented in Brixen, South Tyrol. Mr Pobitzer’s artworks, which will be displayed both in the city of Lienz and on the premises of Durst Austria, feature large-format individual and group portraits as well as technical details of the manufactured printing systems.
Elisabeth Blanik, mayor of the city of Lienz, commented, ‘Since its founding 25 years ago, Durst Austria has developed excellently as a subsidiary of the Durst Group in the sunny city of Lienz. It is a driver of research and innovation, a hidden champion with an international orientation. In addition to its research and production activities at the site, Durst Austria has also sustainably integrated itself into the socio-political fabric.
‘The company acts as a generous supporter and continuously promotes art, culture, and social institutions in the region. As a community, we are very proud of Durst Austria’s achievements, congratulate them on this wonderful anniversary, and sincerely thank them for their outstanding social engagement. We wish them continued innovation, economic success, and a thriving economic environment for the future.’
According to the company, the branch in Lienz has brought forth numerous innovations, notably, the co-development of Durst inkjet technology revolutionised. Another crucial factor for the Durst Group’s success is the integration of state-of-the-art software solutions developed by the subsidiary PrePress Digital (PPD) in Lienz. This software improves the usability and efficiency of the printing systems, enabling better control and management of the printing processes.
The company’s current focus is on sustainability and efficiency, with recent developments on eco-friendly printing solutions for the packaging industry and the integration of digital technologies to optimise production processes.
Mr Gamper concluded, ‘Our branch in Lienz is a symbol of the Durst Group’s progress and innovative strength. We look forward to many more successful years.’
