Customers Want Even More Automated Factories · Hans Gut · VP Marketing & Partnering · Hunkeler
At the Think Smart Factory event in Kyoto, we got the chance to talk to VP Marketing & Partnering, Hans Gut from Hunkeler. Hunkeler and Horizon have been working together for years, and of course, it makes sense for both companies to exhibit at each other’s events like Think Smart Factory and Hunkeler Innovationdays. Where Hunkeler has focused on reel-based finishing equipment, Horizon has focused on sheets – and of course, their equipment interfaces with both printers, and other finishing equipment.
In this interview, Hans Gut speaks about the automation opportunities, and that the need for even more automation is a huge demand from printers.
Enjoy this interview!
Hans Gut · Chief Marketing Officer · Hunkeler
Even for CMO Hans Gut, the Müller Martini acquisition of Hunkeler came as a surprise but was a logical step in a time when consolidations are part of company growth. With a vast potential for both companies, the future is bright. Hans Gut, several times in the interview, emphasizes that Hunkeler will keep also working with competitors to Müller Martini - respecting the legacy and the people - and, of course, once again, a firm commitment to Hunkeler Innovationdays that takes place next time as an even bigger event in February 2025. Great talking to Hans Gut and also getting some commitments for the future.
