Mex, Switzerland based Bobst announced that it has in- creased its stake in CITO Group – one of the world’s mar- ket leaders in the field of creasing technology – by 90 percent. This follows the retirement of CITO Managing Di- rector Jürgen Mariën, who has sold his remaining shares. Bobst first acquired a majority shareholding of 51 percent in CITO Group in 2020. CITO is known for providing an extensive range of com- ponents for the converting and die-making industries with expertise in paper, cardboard, and corrugated board. CI- TO’s offering of consumables and services are now fully part of the Bobst portfolio. CITO will continue to run independently. Director of Sales and R&D Oliver Kellermann has been appointed co-Managing Director alongside existing co-Managing Di- rector Thomas Gerner. They will continue to manage and oversee the day-to-day running of the company alongside René Seick, Director of Technology. “For Bobst, CITO and our customers, this strengthened collaboration is very exciting," said Alex Volery, Tooling Division Director at Bobst. "This allows even more co-de- velopment of innovative products, deeper connections between our two R&D departments, and ultimately even more value delivered for our customers.”
