The Bobst Group has joined PrintCity as a major partner in a strategic move that will strengthen links and provide its customers with real added value – particularly for the Folding Carton Packaging division as an initial step. The Swiss group, which was a project partner for PrintCity at drupa last year, will also gain from the recognized 'connection of competence' by linking into projects under way within PrintCity that aim to provide integrated process solutions to the packaging Industry.
PrintCity is a strategic alliance that connects worldwide expertise from over 40 independent companies within the graphic arts industry. Members work together in commercial partnerships within a 'closed loop, open systems' environment within the publishing, packaging and commercial printing sectors.
Olivier Gardiol, head of Bobst's Folding Carton Business Area, says: "At Drupa we had a successful launch of new products, which had a direct positive impact on increased revenues for our group last year. By becoming a full member with active participation we are also committed to the long term success of projects where PrintCity members are working together in commercial partnerships through integrating technology and worldwide expertise. As a first step we will be focusing our activities on to the folding carton market needs."
President of PrintCity John Dangelmaier adds: "Bobst fully supports our 'connection of competence' approach and will play a full part in the direction PrintCity is taking by integrating technology and expertise to promote added value to members' customers."
