Global printing equipment manufacturer Gallus is to mark its centenary on 19 June with the official opening of the Gallus Experience Centre.

Designed to be a central touchpoint for the entire labels and narrow web landscape, the new centre is dedicated to, ‘facilitating the future success of the industry, fostering collaboration to drive innovation and sustainability, and accelerating the industry’s ‘digital transformation,’ according to the company.

Fellow manufacturers and suppliers, converters, printers and brands can use the new facility to explore ideas, and to test and develop new technologies. Additionally, Gallus will use the facility to showcase both conventional, hybrid and digital print products, software and Cloud-based products, next-generation machines being produced and supplier partner technologies.

Customers, prospects and stakeholders from printers and converters across the globe are invited to the Gallus Experience Centre in St Gallen, Switzerland across 20-23 June as part of the company’s inaugural ‘Gallus Experience Days.’

Dario Urbinati, Gallus Group CEO, commented, ‘In addition to celebrating our birthday, we will use the event to demonstrate our vision for the future of labels and packaging. Largely, this is centred around a ‘digital transformation’ – using ‘smart, connected printing’ to unlock revolutionary levels of production automation and manufacturing efficiencies. Key to solving the labour issues of today, we are also excited to unveil new solutions at the event that will enable customers to reduce costs, increase profitability and increase sustainability.’
