Hans-Joachim Boekstegers and Guido Spix, directors and CEO and CTO respectively of MULTIVAC, struck a consistently positive note at this year's press conference at IFFA. In front of many journalists from home and abroad, they gave comprehensive details about the company's business development in the current year and a perspective on the strategic direction of the company. Highlighted on the exhibition stand were innovative packaging solutions and labelling and inspection systems for hand producers and industrial-scale meat processors.
MULTIVAC's figures can be clearly seen: the Group's turnover in 2015 was some 900 million euros. This equates to an increase of over 19 percent compared with the previous year. There are now 1,700 employees at its headquarters in Wolfertschwenden, and worldwide there are 4,700. With its own 75 sales and service com-panies, the Allgäu-based world market leader for packaging ma-chines is now represented in over 140 countries.
