Founded in 1921 and owner-managed for four generations, label manufacturer Vollherbst is planning further significant investments in logistics, production and meeting areas at its headquarters in Endingen by 2030.

In a market environment characterised by change, Vollherbst is focusing on progress: Over seven million euros were invested in new technology and modern production processes.

The company has remained true to its home in the Kaiserstuhl for over 100 years - and combines down-to-earthness with international appeal.
„We are clearly committed to our home in Endingen and have made a conscious decision to comprehensively modernise the site. We clearly see the core of our production here in the long term - with a strong team that combines technical printing precision with a deep understanding of global brand worlds.“
