In 2002, the company Otto Kriegsch, founded in 1936, became part of the Panther Group. Since then, the company’s core competencies have been consistently expanded by Panther Display GmbH & Co. KG have been consistently expanded. With the relocation of the company to Wustermark, in the immediate vicinity of the Wepoba Wellpappenfabrik, expansion took on rapid speed. Today, Panther Display is celebrating its 85th anniversary as a successful specialist for PoS displays.
For some years now, the company has also been positioning itself as a competent service partner for the pharmaceutical industry: thanks to its GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing authorization in accordance with Section 13 of the German Medicines Act, Panther Pharma Service fulfills a wide range of requirements. The service offering is also available for all other industries, such as the entire food industry.
Panther Display now stands for almost two decades of steady growth. The foundation stone for this was laid 85 years ago by the founders of the Otto Kriegsch company; since then, technological development has been driven forward under the umbrella of the Panther Group. The successful development is decisively supported by, for example, the expansion and further qualification of the team, by extensive investments in state-of-the-art production facilities in line with the best possible environmental standards. As part of the group, Panther Display is also a climate-neutral company.
In 2008 (new Panther Display building in Wustermark) and 2016 (doubling of the production area), significant milestones for the company’s development occurred. In line with the ever-increasing quality requirements of Panther Display’s diverse customers, state-of-the-art high-performance machines (such as gluing tables, converting surfaces, pressing belts and the installation of a new flatbed die cutter) as well as well-trained and experienced employees in the manual work, converting and gluing departments form the backbone of production. The expansion was driven by the investment in specific additional equipment such as folding machines for package inserts, automatic erecting as well as filling systems, measuring and weighing systems.
Specializing in unusual, brand-supporting and sales-promoting products, they ensure consumer activation and the generation of a willingness to buy in every retail environment. Individual developments of modular display systems go hand in hand with holistic approaches to create a unity of standard and individual display solutions for customers. To this end, Panther Display also draws on the strengths of the Panther Group, where, depending on customer requirements, the optimum solution is developed across all sites, taking into account economic and ecological aspects, such as the ideal printing process (flexo direct printing or flexo preprint).
Thanks to effective and highly flexible display gluing machines and decades of experience in hand gluing processes, attractive and clever new displays and decorations are created for the PoS, for example, which offer additional benefits for retailers and brand manufacturers. Folding techniques, plug-in connections and adhesive solutions, such as those developed at Panther Display, form the basis for easy assembly of even large-area displays.
At the same time, it is possible to manufacture PoS elements from just one or two parts — Panther Display has been granted patents and utility model protection for a number of unusual functionalities. Even 85 years after the company was founded, Panther Display’s enthusiasm for new and further developments remains unbroken. The continuing positive development of the company speaks for a further growing team in Wustermark.
