Hybrid Software forms workflow partnership with SAUERESSIG Group

The SAUERESSIG Group and Hybrid Software have entered into a strategic agreement to support the standardization and digitalization of SAUERESSIG’s global repro and workflow operations. The initiative strengthens the technological foundation of SAUERESSIG’s production sites in Europe and Asia and supports the company’s ongoing international growth.

SAUERESSIG is an international manufacturer of printing and embossing cylinders for the packaging and surface finishing industries. By working with Hybrid Software, the company is implementing a unified and scalable workflow infrastructure. The supplier has ensured consistent quality, greater efficiency, and reliable production processes across multiple locations.

The project focuses on standardizing and automating prepress workflows across SAUERESSIG’s production network. Hybrid Software’s modular workflow technology enables centralized process control, automated data verification and preparation, transparent approval workflows, and seamless integration with upstream and downstream production systems. The result is a more consistent and efficient production environment, with reliable data quality from prepress through to cylinder production. Standardized review and approval processes help reduce turnaround times and minimize manual intervention, as well. Plus, these processes improve the repeatability of complex printing and embossing projects.

Long-term scalability

A key requirement for SAUERESSIG was long-term scalability. The new workflow architecture allows new capacity and production sites to integrate into existing standards without compromising quality or consistency.

“Our production processes require maximum precision, repeatability, and data security. At the same time, we need to be able to connect new locations in a structured and efficient way. With Hybrid Software, we have a partner that understands these requirements and supports us with a sustainable technology platform,” says Ingo Beutler, director of prepress, SAUERESSIG Group.

Christopher Graf, managing director of Hybrid Software, adds, “SAUERESSIG is known for industrial precision and the highest quality standards in a demanding market. Together, we are building scalable workflow architectures that combine global standardization with the flexibility required for future growth.”

The partnership also provided continuity during SAUERESSIG’s successful management buyout. Throughout this period of organizational change, the company maintained a clear technology strategy. During which, Hybrid Software supported the continued development of its workflow architecture and helped to ensure operational reliability.
