The Melsungen-based printing company Faubel & Co. Nachfolger GmbH, which mainly produces booklet labels and special labelling for the pharmaceutical industry, acquires a majority stake in SIL System Integration Laboratory GmbH, a specialist for RFID (radio frequency identification) solutions, with immediate effect.
The companies already have a long-standing partnership, which will be further intensified by the investment. Tobias John, who has been Managing Director at SIL for five years, will continue to hold this position. He sees the collaboration as a positive symbiosis: „In the course of so-called Industry 4.0, the linking and digitalisation of processes is becoming increasingly important. For the realisation of this claim in practice RFID a key technology."
SIL offers a full-service approach, from research projects, software development and system integration to life cycle management for existing applications. „Faubel has exceptional expertise as a producer of labelling and is globally positioned. Both companies will therefore benefit equally from the investment.“
Frank Jäger, who is responsible for Business Development, Marketing and R&D at Faubel as a member of the Management Board, will act alongside Tobias John as Managing Director of SIL GmbH and manage the integration into this branch of the company.
„In recent years, Faubel has developed from a traditional print shop into a Innovation leader for speciality labels. The collaboration with SIL enables us to drive forward further product innovations and expand our service portfolio,“ says Jäger.
At this year's interpack in Düsseldorf, Faubel will be presenting new products to visitors for the first time that combine the expertise of Faubel and SIL.
