Marbach looks back on an eventful 2025. The year was shaped by international trade fair appearances, new product innovations, strategic developments, and important advances in sustainability. At the same time, the company intensified its interactions with customers, particularly at the first Marbach Performance Summit.
The packaging industry is facing increasing demands for more precise processes, greater efficiency, cost-effective production, and a shift towards more sustainable solutions. Marbach is responding to these developments with new technologies, strong partnerships, and a clear focus on future-oriented production processes.
“2025 was a challenging and strengthening year for us as a company. We expanded our international presence, further developed our processes, and intensified the dialogue with our customers. Only together can we shape the future of our industry,” explained Peter Marbach, Managing Partner, Marbach.
In 2025, Marbach was represented at numerous trade fairs, including the IADD Odyssey Expo in Atlanta, Amplify Print in Chicago, Foam Expo in Novi, the FEFCO Technical Seminar in Rome, DieTechExpo in Prague, and Prod&Pack in Lyon. A special highlight was the first Marbach Performance Summit in Heilbronn. Participants were given exclusive insights into production and live demonstrations of the die-cutting machine. They also attended specialist presentations on the use of artificial intelligence in modern production environments.
In terms of sustainability, Marbach achieved several important milestones in 2025: the renewed EcoVadis Silver certification, first place for Marbach trainees in the EcoScouts Heilbronn-Franken project, and joining the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) underscore the company’s commitment to climate-friendly and resource-saving processes.
At the same time, Marbach continued to grow internationally: Marbach America, Inc. acquired the US company Tru-Fit Steel Rule Die in Germantown, Wisconsin. The Mexican plant Troqueles Marbach de México was transformed from a pure sales location into a production site, which moved into its new premises in December 2025.
Technologically speaking, the year was marked by new solutions that significantly simplify everyday production in the packaging industry. Marbach now offers an exclusive solution with the MTS-SQS magnetic transfer system that greatly simplifies the transfer process for male embossing dies. This system was developed by STAMP Systems Europe Sp. z o.o, the embossing specialist within the Marbach Group.
Marbach also made significant contributions to the corrugated board sector: the digital zone levelling DZL|foil is a flexible solution for large-format machines. This customised foil with a precisely matched height profile reliably compensates for height tolerances and can easily be inserted into the cutting chase without additional modifications. Additionally, Marbach presented the high-performance Corrugated Performance System (CPS) for flat cutting dies and the CPS-R for rotary cutting dies. These systems offer maximum process stability and efficiency in corrugated board processing thanks to their standardised design and perfectly matched components. These cutting-die designs help manufacturers achieve economical, reproducible results, even under demanding conditions. CONNECT|M continues to play an important role in complementing these solutions. It ensures transparent machine and production data, creating a reliable basis for efficient process analyses and optimisations.
“In 2025, our product solutions were clearly focused on increasing efficiency. Technologies such as the MTS-SQS magnetic transfer system or our innovations for corrugated board, including the DZL|foil digital zone levelling system and the CPS and CPS-R tool designs, as well as digital applications such as CONNECT|M help our customers to make their processes more stable, economical, and transparent,” explains Jan Brunner, Sales Manager of the Marbach Group.
