Drent Goebel and Giebeler form strategic alliance

Narrow web press manufacturer Drent-Goebel has formed a strategic alliance with Giebeler. Both companies manufacture web offset presses for the forms and mailings market but have developed systems for converting labels, packaging and security products. Giebeler has particular expertise in sleeves, a core area for Drent-Goebel with its Variable Offset Printing (VSOP) technology introduced at Labelexpo Europe. Negotiations are now taking place regarding global sales channels, but customer support for Giebeler customers will be moved to Drent Goebel in Darmstadt, Germany.
