DG press Services acquires former Drent Goebel premises

DG press Services has acquired the former Drent Goebel premises. The transferal of ownership will take place on June 11 after which ‘drastic renovation’ will take place immediately, says the company.

DG press Services was founded in 2009 by two former Drent Goebel employees as a modest service provider for Drent’s installation base.

Director Peter Kloppers said: ‘Without the necessity of selling and producing an amount of printing presses, we could further focus on delivering service solutions, developing the existing presses and offer innovative upgrades, modifications and extensions.’

This shift in mentality has been well received by Drent Goebel customers and is reflected by DGpS’ recent growth. ‘We started with 12 ex-Drent Goebel employees. Now we employ almost 30 Drent specialists,’ said Kloppers.

The premises, comprising of 7000 square meters of which 5500 sqm is production and office space, further facilitates DGpS in its growth. Although the company’s main focus will remain on service and customer support, DGpS’ capability to build new presses, such as the newly developed Vision SP, will be increased with the extended factory.

DG press Services plans to move on January 1 2013.
