Birkhäuser printing operations to be merged
The printing companies Birkhäuser+GBC and Birkhäuser+GBC Spezialprodukte, which have operated as independent subsidiaries of Basler Zeitung Medien, are merging into a single company. The two directors, Daniel Merkel and Marcel Häsler, will remain at the helm.
As of July 1, 2008, the printing companies Birkhäuser+GBC and Birkhäuser+GBC Spezialprodukte, which previously operated as independent subsidiaries of Basler Zeitung Medien, will be merged into one company. The market presence will be under the traditional company name Birkhäuser+GBC and will include the entire range of products and services of both divisions. According to a press release issued on Tuesday, the merger is the logical consequence of a development that has been underway for some time at an administrative and operational level and has proven to be very successful. Management will remain in the hands of the two current directors Daniel Merkel (Birkhäuser+GBC) and Marcel Häsler (Specialty Products) at the Reinach site in Baselland. In the future organizational structure, Merkel, as Technical Director, will be primarily responsible for production as well as control and logistics, while Häsler, as Sales Director, will be responsible for marketing and sales.
