Hein Verpackungen first in Germany with Highcon Euclid

Founded more than 80 years ago, the fourth generation family business has a long-standing record of leading innovation. With a background in short runs and displays, it sees responsiveness as being the key to the company's success.

Stephan Hein, Hein CEO said: ‘We were completely fascinated by the samples produced on the Highcon products. The "wow effect’" of the applications demonstrated, especially on unprinted board, opened our eyes to the huge potential of this technology. The Euclid III will allow us to offer existing and new customers a wider range of new applications, help promote small agencies and extend the variety of products that we provide for major brands. The response we have received from our existing customer and supplier base has been highly positive. We plan to show off the capabilities at the Paperworld show in Frankfurt at the end of January 2017.’

Jens-Henrik Osmundsen, Highcon VP global sales said: ‘The German market is an important one to us, representing tradition and quality and we immediately recognized the entrepreneurial spirit of Hein Verpackungen and believe that its creative approach, forward thinking and understanding of the market trends of customization and differentiation will enable it to be highly successful with plans to produce innovative short-run products.’

The Highcon Euclid III digital cutting and creasing machine is the third generation of the Highcon machine, already installed in more than 30 sites around the globe, and part of its expanded product portfolio, as reported here.
