Olaf Gerber, sales manager at baumannperfecta, underscored the importance of local partnerships in succeeding within regional markets. “You can only be successful in a market with a strong local partner. This collaboration will allow both companies to combine their strengths and offer customers in the region a variety of cutting and peripheral solutions.”

Gerber also said that Currie Group’s experience in the Australian and New Zealand markets makes the partnership a promising combination, aimed at delivering customised solutions that meet specific customer needs.

The baumannperfecta business is the result of the merger five years ago of German print finishing systems manufacturers baumannwohlenberg and Perfecta into one brand, owned by the Baumann Group.
