Contiweb Now Operating as an Independent Company

Contiweb is now officially operating as an independent company. The announcement comes on the heels of Goss International’s merger with manroland web systems. Contiweb was previously a Goss subsidiary.

The formalization of its independence, which coincides with the company’s 40th anniversary, sees Contiweb further cement its position as a leader in web offset solutions and continue to enhance its offering in the digital market as well as the label and packaging sector. Contiweb will continue to operate under ownership of American Industrial Partners (AIP), an investment company focused on building middle market industrial companies.

“We are excited to be celebrating this double milestone,” says Bert Schoonderbeek, managing director at Contiweb. “Beyond enabling us to continue to develop cutting-edge solutions that provide the best answer to our customers’ challenges, this new direction will also allow us to drive brand awareness across the globe and form close partnerships with our customers, suppliers and our diverse group of OEM partners, including Goss and manroland.

“Over the past 40 years, we have built a reputation as a frontrunner in web offset thanks to our innovative result-led solutions. These include the Contiweb Ecoset dryer that provides our customers with production reliability with incredible energy efficiency, and more recently, the Contiweb Thallo web offset packaging press. With the flexible packaging market continuing to grow at a steady pace, we believe that the press’ distinctive production capabilities will play a vital role in expanding our customer base and fortifying our foothold within this sector.”
