With Schubert Business Development GmbH, the Schubert brothers are opening a new chapter in strategic business development. While Gerhard Schubert GmbH is primarily known as a forerunner in modular packaging machines, the new company, which is independent from Schubert GmbH, aims to identify market trends and opportunities, and to promote and develop innovation for various industries. Furthermore, partnerships and equity investments with companies in the packaging sector will be pursued.

Schubert Business Development is headed by shareholding partners Ralf and Gerald Schubert as well as Peter Gabriel, who will manage the newly founded company together with Gerald Schubert. “We will develop new business models with existing partners in the packaging industry and explore entirely new approaches to diversify our current business in the packaging industry,” explains company founder Gerald Schubert. “Strategic collaborations with partners will be taken into consideration as well as investments in or acquisitions of start-up companies.”

According to Peter Gabriel, the approach is clearly “more than a think tank for modern production-oriented companies”. Schubert Business Development GmbH will support and promote start-ups – analytically, with ideas and financially as well. In doing so, it will not only support start-ups, but also promote investments in and the acquisition of existing companies.
