The pioneer in packaging automation is celebrating a milestone birthday
Inventiveness is one thing, putting ideas into action is quite another. Combining both skills has always been one of the many strengths of company founder Gerhard Schubert. And one that made him a pioneer who has been shaping the packaging industry with his developments to this day. As a trailblazer, he began making his mark in the world of packaging in 1966 with his modularly designed, flexible packaging machines, and he was in fact one of the first to begin working with digital technology. This exceptional ingenuity has paid off. Today, Gerhard Schubert GmbH is the recognised world market leader in CNC-controlled top-loading packaging machines (TLM). The visionary who made this success possible is celebrating his 80th birthday in July 2018.
Gerhard Schubert, as founder of the packaging machine manufacturing company that bears his name, is one of the most influential developers and thinkers in the packaging industry. With his idea to handle complex packaging tasks with modularly designed, flexible machines, he initiated the successful growth of his company, which continues to this day. This is based on his tireless drive and his very unique ability to always think one step ahead of the market.
