GERMANY - Surteco SE, a globally leading manufacturer of surfaces for the furniture and wood-based materials industry and producer of technical extrusions, is adapting its organizational structures for its planned future growth.

As part of the SURTECO 2025+ growth strategy launched in the 2015 financial year, there is to be a consistent focus on customer needs. To this end, as part of the realignment from the current product orientation to industry orientation, the previously separately managed companies BauschLinnemann, Döllken-Kunststoffverarbeitung and Surteco Decor will be merged to form a new entity with the name Surteco GmbH.

The underlying concept of offering all services together as a one-stop shop gives customers global access to cross-segment expertise and allows them to benefit from improved services such as simplified ordering options and shorter development times. SURTECO has already been achieving success with this strategy for a long time at several foreign subsidiaries.

2With the merger of three companies to form Surteco GmbH, Surteco is being repositioned for the future in organizational terms. Our customers increasingly ask for cross-segment paper and plastic services from a single source. We expect this step to bring us additional organic growth and earnings synergies,” says Dr. Herbert Müller, Chairman of the Board of Management of Surteco SE.
