The partnership between Toutext and Stratus Packaging ticks every box in our development strategy
Acquisition after acquisition, the Stratus Packaging Group continues to follow its strategic roadmap, aimed at establishing the company as a major and essential brand in the label industry, by capitalising on several key objectives:
-
European expansion of the Stratus Packaging Group
-
Strengthening its expertise in its leading market segments
-
Acquisition of industrial, commercial and/or service-oriented know-how
-
Increased synergies between the Group’s units and services
-
Development of proximity and responsiveness
Already a label manufacturer in Switzerland through Koch AG, Stratus Packaging is now partnering with Toutext, another Swiss company specialising in labels and customised packaging.
Isidore Leiser, President of the Stratus Packaging Group, confirms the Group’s ambition to build a coherent and sustainable European organisation:
“Our interest in Toutext exists on several levels. Toutext is a family-owned company founded over 65 years ago, with a multidisciplinary and highly skilled team recognised by its customers. Its commercial performance is driven by responsiveness and proximity, and it possesses strong expertise in specific product and market segments experiencing high growth.
These ‘elementary particles’ are equally present in the DNA of the Stratus Packaging Group, and they have enabled us to grow. The partnership between us quickly became an obvious choice.”
This collaboration also allows Stratus Packaging to strengthen its logistics and commercial base in Switzerland, supported by Koch AG’s industrial capabilities, while expanding its presence across the different linguistic regions of the country.
Toutext stands out for its strong presence in the pharmaceutical sector, offering a wide range of specialised packaging products (labels, sealed pouches, customised or plain bags, etc.), as well as its ability to meet customer demands within the shortest possible lead times thanks to its webshop.
David Lude, the new Head of Toutext, is convinced:
“Our complementary strengths transform this partnership into an incredible strike force! Whether to consolidate our market share, broaden our offering to current clients, or adopt a more ambitious strategy, this collaboration provides us with major assets that significantly enhance our collective performance.”
By combining their strengths and shared values, Stratus Packaging and Toutext now form a unique partner capable of delivering innovative, responsive and comprehensive solutions to the Swiss market for labels and specialised packaging. Together, Isidore Leiser and David Lude confirm their “intention to accelerate integration in order to meet the needs of current and future clients as closely as possible.” Progress is already well underway, with a new website set to be launched in the coming months.
