Bobst is building a new company structure, effective as of 1 January 2021, to be more customer centric, easier to reach, and more agile to deliver novelties.
The newly created Printing & Converting Business Unit (previously Sheet Fed and Web Fed) led by Stephan März will develop products and solutions. Each product will be developed with an entrepreneurial spirit to better address clients’ and industry needs, delivering faster innovation, improving quality and ultimately increasing customer satisfaction.
The Services & Performance Business Unit (former BU Services) led by Julien Laran, continues to provide services to maximize production up-time and to increase the overall performance of converters’ sites. The Internet of Things will enable converters to make fact-based decisions and optimise their entire production floor. Bobst Connect will take a more central role to support our clients.
These two Business Units will rely on a more simplified, agile and easy to reach sales organisation. Both identical sales organisations (per geographies and per industry) will serve clients across the Labels, Flexible Packaging, Folding Carton and Corrugated board industries. More synergies between machines and services will enable new business models.
Raphaël Indermühle will lead the Printing & Converting Sales Organisation and Christian Falk the Services & Performance Sales Organisation. Both organisations will be operational as of 1 January 2021.
