65 th anniversary for marking specialists

Paul Leibinger from Tuttlingen/Baden-Württemberg is celebrating its 65 th anniversary. Producing numbering machines, industrial inkjet printers and camera verification systems, Paul Leibinger quickly became successful as a numbering specialist, with central banks and printing houses all over the world, printing serial numbers on bills, lottery tickets and more with his numbering machines. After the death of the founder in 1963, his son Günther Leibinger took over the management, and continued the expansion of the numberingmachines, building up a worldwide distributor network. In 1992 the expansion included the development of camera systems for verification, and in 1996 inkjet printers for product marking were added to the company’s range. Along with the success came employee appreciation and loyalty to the area of Tuttlingen. In 1999 all German locations and product lines of the Paul Leibinger company were united in one 10,000m 2 headquarters, where approximately 200 employees now work. There are also plans for this site to be expanded. The company’s main export markets are Asia, including focus on China, and North America, where the sales are conducted by its own sales company. In 2011 Christina Leibinger joined the company management to Günther Leibinger and Horst Schoch. For the future the traditional company remains in family ownership. This allows economic and social aspects.
