The Renz group from Heubach has new direction
A group of private entrepreneurs has acquired the shares of the company Renz GmbH from Heubach. Managing Director, Michael Schubert (42), belongs to the group of new shareholders and is also responsible for sales, marketing and development. The new appointment of Georg Saint- Denis (49), takes over as CEO of the Renz group. The management team is expected to be completed in the coming months by a new CFO.
Renz is more than 100 year old, medium-sized family firm with approximately 300 employees, including 160 at its headquarters in Heubach. The firm specialises in the manufacturing of punching, binding and laminating systems and binding supplies for a wide range of applications from the office to the paper processing industry.
Managing Director Michael Schubert: "I am delighted that we have found a group of experienced and active investors, with which a successful and sustainable development program is now possible for the group. The significant strength of equity is the basis for the restructuring of the company and opens up further growth potential for the Renz Group ."
The outgoing majority shareholder of Renz GmbH, Peter Renz, had retired in 2012 from the operating business and remains in the group as a consultant and an advisory board member. "The investor participation begins a new era for the Renz company and also opens up significant growth opportunities that were unreachable for us to date. I am glad that I was able to lay those foundations for the further successful development of my life's work, “commented Peter Renz.
The new shareholders of the Renz group specialize in long-term and active investments in medium-sized companies. The speciality is in particular the background of extensive management experience even where difficult corporate situations were managed and sustainable growth was generated.
CEO Georg Saint- Denis brings with him a long standing leadership position from the automotive supply industry with wide experience and modern management tools. “Renz is traditional but innovative company with an international focus offering the opportunity to implement our growth and value enhancement strategy. The aim of developing Renz to becoming the sustained market leader in its sector and industry" said Saint- Denis. "I have been very well received here by the staff and feel right from the beginning the great support and trust from all team members" Saint- Denis describes as his first impressions.

Drupa 2012 exceeds Renz expectations
Drupa 2012 order intake exceeds last drupa 2008 by 50%
Click here for more DRUPA 2012 pictures!
Leading punching and loose leaf binding manufacturer Renz, has said its post drupa 2012 order intake is 50% up on the previous drupa 2008. Helped by the highly successful launch of two new punching and binding systems at this year’s exhibition, the new Renz machines creating this buzz at drupa were the Inline 360 and P 360 A:The revolutionary Inline 360 is a high speed punching and binding system, where book blocks are dropped on to the infeed (conveyor), punched, re collated and fed automatically into the binder. Allows for less product handling and full automation of punching and binding, a world first. The Inline is also capable of punching and binding calendar sets with either nail hole or calendar thumb cut. Once the DBW automatic cover turner is linked to the line it allows the device to automatically flip the back cover after the binding process and also spins every second book 180 degrees for level stacking. It can also be linked to shrink wrap tunnels or other boxing equipment. Great time saver aimed at high volume or fast production environments.
The P 360 A is a fully automatic modular high speed punch, with an output of up to 72,000 punched sheets per hour. It has the ability to handle mixed stock including polyprop covers. Modular die insertion allows any loose leaf punch pattern to be punched. This machine bridges the gap between fully automated floor standing systems and heavy duty bench top punches. Complementing the recently launched Renz wire binding machine the Mobi 360 for the book, photobook and calendar work.
These new introductions to the already successful Renz portfolio are aimed at addressing new pressures on printers, such as the print-on-demand market and calls for increased automation or inline systems and further demonstrate Renz’s ability to continually adapt to market demands.
Major highlights for Renz were the sales of several fully automatic high speed punching and binding lines the Renz Inline 500. Michael Schubert – Renz Group CSO said “This machine, a leader in its field, reduces punching and binding bottle necks. With just one operator needed it is capable of comfortably punching and binding in excess of 1,700 bound products per hour”.
Daniel Pooley – Renz International Marketing Manager said of DRUPA 2012 “In past years customers have been more reluctant to spend, preferring to wait for new products rather than
