Global Graphics presents at Spring European Midcap event

Cambridge (UK), 21 June, 2021: Global Graphics PLC (Euronext: GLOG) is taking part in the Spring European Midcap Event 2021 that will take place on 24 and 25 June as a fully digital event, organised by CF&B Communication.

 

The investor relations team, including Chairman Guido Van der Schueren and CEO Mike Rottenborn, are taking the opportunity to present the new face of Global Graphics to investors following the acquisition of HYBRID Software in January 2021.

 

This acquisition roughly doubles the size of the Global Graphics group of companies in terms of headcount, expanding the global workforce to around 250 people.  It adds several more operating locations to the group through HYBRID Software’s offices in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and the USA.  It also adds significant expertise in the labels and packaging market which is seeing exponential growth even during the pandemic.

 

Global Graphics develops enterprise software for industrial inkjet printing.  A growing part of the manufacturing sector, industrial inkjet is when printing technology is used in broader manufacturing processes such as ceramic tile production, textiles and wall coverings, 3D printing and packaging.

 

Guido Van der Schueren comments, “The European Midcap events are well-established and supported and we are looking forward to taking our message to a broad audience of shareholders and prospective investors across Europe. We are the only full stack supplier of all the critical core technologies required for inkjet printing and our strategic markets  – textiles, ceramics, packaging and 3D – are all demonstrating significant growth potential.”

 

Mike Rottenborn adds, “The integration of HYBRID Software into the Global Graphics group of companies brings the opportunity to create new revenue streams from increased technical and commercial collaboration. Our participation in the Spring European Midcap event is ideal timing to present the company and our growth potential to investors.”
