Ralf Sammeck, Koenig & Bauer Board Member and Sheetfed Segment CEO, said that the spirit embodied by both companies in the joint venture continues to grow. “Combining our strengths is driving digitalization in the packaging industry,” Sammeck said. “In building on the initial foundations, we are increasing our capabilities in our R&D center in Radebeul, the head- quarters of the Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed division. To take the joint venture to the next level, we are delighted to have appointed Daniel Velema as the new Managing Director from next February.” “Having led the joint venture company for almost five years, I have been proud to lead a committed team of pro- fessionals and establish ourselves as a real force in the industry. The fact that our two parent companies – Koenig & Bauer and Durst, two giants in packaging and printing – have committed to further R&D capabilities speaks vol- umes about the positive impact we have had in growing our presence significantly in corrugated and folding carton markets. These are ripe for digital transformation – and we have a growing customer base to prove that,” Stabler said. “I thank all staff, partners and our extremely loyal cus- tomer base who have shown unstinting as we have con- tinued to grow and establish our global capabilities as a partner of choice across the world. “Together with Daniel, there will be a significant han- dover period in what I am sure will lead to further success and profitability in the months and years to come.” For more information, visit koenig-bauer-durst.com .
