Reorganization at SAUERESSIG

In the course of an internal reorganization, Matthews International Corporation forms the new umbrella brand SAUERESSIG Group. With immediate effect, all activities from the Packaging, Surfaces, Rollers, Engineering and Elastomers divisions will be combined.

As leading international supplier along the pre-press stage as well as of rotogravure and embossing tools, flexographic printing and special machine construction, the company offers a comprehensive expertise in five different business areas, which are now integrated as individual sub-brands under the umbrella brand of the SAUERESSIG Group. “The merging of the business areas and the formation of a common umbrella brand enables us and our customers to achieve an even higher degree of focusing and concentration,” explains Markus Pennekamp, Managing Director SAUERESSIG Group.

The restructuring of the divisions also entails an adjustment of existing brands: Therefore the American company FROST will become part of the SAUERESSIG Packaging division. All activities in the area of surface refinement, previously combined under the brand SAUERESSIG UNGRICHT, will be renamed to SAUERESSIG Surfaces.

Furthermore, the SCHAWK! locations in Vreden and Grenzach-Wyhlen will be fully integrated into the new umbrella brand and will appear on the market as SAUERESSIG Elastomers. All other national and international locations of SCHAWK! remain unaffected by this step.
