The Gallus Group’s new production facility for Screeny screen printing plates was officially opened June 7 in a ceremony attended by representatives from politics and business. The plant is in Herisau, Switzerland, near the company’s headquarters in St. Gallen.

Approximately 12 million Swiss francs have been invested in the new plant and process engineering for electrolytic coating. Twenty new specialist jobs have been created at the Herisau facility.
