Scanfil plc Press release September 26, 2024 at 8.00 a.m. EEST
Scanfil and HERMA to partner in the manufacturing of HERMA 500
Scanfil and HERMA have agreed on PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) of HERMA’s flagship product HERMA 500. HERMA is a European leader in labeling solutions with over EUR 420 million annual revenue.
HERMA 500 partnership includes PCBA for the control unit which will be printed, assembled, and delivered from Scanfil Pärnu factory in Estonia. HERMA 500 is a reliable, highly modular and fast labeling machine designed for several applications such as bottles, food, and personal care products. HERMA 500 also has intelligent features; it is web-ready and controllable via Ethernet.
“We were very careful in choosing our manufacturing partner. Scanfil has a good reputation in the marketplace and the right capabilities for us”, states Vincent Zabel, Purchasing Team Leader at HERMA “We’re starting with PCBA, but we’re also exploring further opportunities for expanding our collaboration, where Scanfil has a strong offering and capabilities”.
HERMA has their headquarters with a production unit near Stuttgart Germany which is responsible for the final assembly of all HERMA products. HERMA was established in 1906 as a family company, and it is still owned by the family. Scanfil was established 70 years later as a family company by Jorma J. Takanen and it was listed on Nasdaq Helsinki in 2002.
“We both come from entrepreneurial backgrounds and values”, says Global Sales Manager Andreas Bohner “Building up a business relationship was relatively easy as HERMA is right-sized, has the right needs with low-to-mid volumes, and is willing to build long-term partnership”.
Scanfil offers a global growth platform for its customers through extensive service and factory network across the globe.
