Heidelberg Expands Consumables Business in Germany

As a result of the acquisition, Ulrich Schweizer GmbH has been renamed Saphira Handelsgesellschaft mbH.

The new company is based in Waiblingen, and Dr. Uwe Lemcke and Kai-Erik Ströbel have been appointed as Managing Directors.

Kai-Erik Ströbel comments on the acquisition: "The success of Schweizer is based on an unyielding customer focus, outstanding service, and decades of experience and know-how in the production and application of inks. What’s more, we have established a reputation as one of the leading service providers for sheetfed offset inks in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. By working with Heidelberg and its sales and service organization, we can now offer our portfolio throughout Germany and expand our range of specialist products and services even further."
