At Labelexpo Europe 2025, Heidelberg and Gallus will debut two new machine solutions targeting smart, connected printing.
The show will see Heidelberg and Gallus bringing brand new solutions to the growing label market to address key customer challenges. The joint Heidelberg and Gallus booth will showcase a unified lineup of innovations featuring new Gallus product launches; Heidelberg’s latest sheetfed offset technologies; and updates from Heidelberg Prinect; Gallus Screen; Gallus Services; and Gallus Classics.
Dr. David Schmedding, chief technology and sales officer at Heidelberg, says, “Heidelberg and Gallus’s joint presence at Labelexpo underscores the strategic importance of label printing within the group. As a total solution provider and systems integrator of both digital and conventional solutions, we are ideally positioned to address evolving market trends and meet diverse customer needs across all segments.
“Our customers benefit from a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that delivers end-to-end solutions focused on maximum efficiency, productivity, and quality – and Labelexpo provides the ideal platform to share this vision and strengthen our growing global network.”
Visitors to the Heidelberg and Gallus booth will experience firsthand how, underpinned by the Gallus System to Compose concept, existing and new innovations launched at the show, will enable converters to futureproof their operations, with Gallus’s modular solutions designed to work seamlessly not just within its own ecosystem, but also alongside complementary partner technologies from across the production line.
The company says these collaborations demonstrate its commitment to whole industry advancement through shared purpose, vision, and a connected, end to end print ecosystem. The booth will feature a robust, unified lineup of technologies and samples, including sheetfed offset innovations for the efficient production of wet glue and in-mold labels, Heidelberg Prinect, Gallus Screen, Gallus Services, and Gallus Classics.
Dario Urbinati, chief executive officer at Gallus Group, says, “Together with the continued strength of our partnership with Heidelberg and a growing network of partners and collaborators, we’re looking forward to a successful event in Barcelona, where Labelexpo’s dynamic new home will no doubt inspire new thinking, fresh momentum, and exciting opportunities.
“Labelexpo has always been an inspiring world stage where innovation and collaboration come together, serving as a reminder that real, meaningful industry transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. Success in this industry requires collaboration across the value chain, and the more expertise, ideas, and ambition we bring together, the greater the opportunities for everyone to thrive.
“The latest innovations and strategic partnerships we are unveiling at this year’s event demonstrate how Gallus is steadily removing barriers to digital adoption, growth, and lasting success.
“Through close collaboration with industry leaders and by truly listening to our customers, we are turning our vision of a smart, connected print future into a tangible reality, empowering converters to confidently embrace what lies ahead and reshape their trajectory for greater success.”
Upcoming show announcements will build on the momentum of recent developments from Gallus, including the launch of its new Gallus MatteJet technology for the Gallus One. Developed at the Gallus Experience Centre and launched earlier this year for the production of profitable, inline digital labels with a high end matte finish, the solution has already seen a strong initial reception from the market.
MatteJet followed previous milestone innovations such as the Gallus One and the continued evolution of the System to Compose modular platform. Collectively, these launches reflect Gallus’s focus on addressing customer challenges, removing barriers to digital adoption, and supporting the long-term transformation of the label printing industry.”
The company says that, with the digital label printing market projected to grow to over US$20bn over the next decade, the segment represents a key driver of innovation and value creation across the packaging and print industries. They add that the joint appearance of Heidelberg and Gallus at the show reflects its commitment to leveraging this momentum as part of its growth strategy for the packaging and label segment, showcasing new technologies and end to end solutions that drive efficiency, productivity and quality, to meet the evolving demands of brand owners and converters.
Dario Urbinati concludes, “We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors to the joint Heidelberg and Gallus booth at Labelexpo – not only to reveal our latest solutions, but to invite the industry to explore what’s possible when we solve challenges together.”
