Gallus and GRE form partnership

The two Swiss companies Gallus Ferdinand Resch AG, of St Gallen, and GRE Engineering AG, of Steinebrunn, have recently formed a collaborative partnership. As from April 1 2008, GRE Engineering AG will manage the supply and acquisition of spare parts for Gallus letterpress printing machines. This will be introduced in phases: the first involving setting up the supply for Switzerland, Germany and France. In the medium term, this will be extended to function on a worldwide level.

The companies say that this new set-up will not affect current operational procedures. Ordering of spare parts and service requests are carried out, as before, via the respective sales partner – in the German market, for example, via the Gallus-Group Vertriebs GmbH in Langgns-Niederkleen. The groundwork for the new partnership has been thoroughly prepared by both participants: modern computer technology guarantees the effortless transfer of data between the Gallus organizations and GRE.

The Swiss market presents an exception to the rule. There, all future orders will be handled directly by GRE Engineering AG, who will also act as direct contact for servicing issues.

The expertise, which GRE Engineering AG brings to the table concerning the upgrading of Gallus letterpress printing machines, will be extended even further in the future to incorporate efficient servicing for customers. This will ensure a competent support system, which can deal with issues related to relocation and upgrades of older Gallus machines.

As Roger Wey, CEO of GRE Engineering AG, further explains, the company has for this reason consolidated its service personnel. On May 1, Giuseppe Gallelli will join the service team working alongside Martin Ehringer.
