Herma opens US subsidiary

Herma US will concentrate on sales and servicing in support of the company’s wide range of labeling machines, and will be led by 25-year company veteran Peter Goff as CEO.

‘This is a tremendous opportunity for Herma to expand its global footprint,’ said Martin Kühl, divisional director of Herma’s worldwide Machine division. ‘The company had already enjoyed solid sales in North America without permanent staff. This new subsidiary dedicates many of our most talented personnel to one of the world’s most important markets. This exciting new commitment allows Herma to focus in on the American healthcare and consumer products sectors, and provide our distributors and customers an enhanced, more direct level of sales and technical support.’

Though Herma US initially will focus solely on its labeling machines business, Herma also produces self-adhesive materials, as well as finished adhesive products for a broad set of industries, including healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive and electrical, chemicals, food, cosmetics and logistics.
