Labels help Gallus results stay stable

Gallus Group has reported turnover of 188 million CHF (213.9 million USD) in 2013, with its emerging markets and its label printing business contributing to this result.

Gallus became the first printing press manufacturer to use technical granite as the carrier for printing and processing units with the ECS 340

Full-year turnover for 2013 compared to 193 million CHF in 2012 (219.6 million USD), with business stimulated by growing economic stability over the year, Gallus said, and following a modest start to the year, incoming orders and turnover increased significantly during the second six months, exceeding expectations slightly.

The label printing press business saw sustained demand for competitive machines in lower-priced printing presses, not least because an increasing share of turnover was being generated in the emerging markets. The Gallus ECS 340, in particular, was well placed to meet this demand, it said. With this machine system, Gallus became the first printing press manufacturer to use technical granite as the carrier for printing and processing units.
