Few events have as much impact on the packaging industry as interpack: the world’s leading trade fair of its kind promises visibility, networking and cutting-edge technologies on the largest possible scale. For Schubert, this year’s edition is all about groundbreaking developments. With a revamped product strategy, a multifaceted stand concept and exhibits in three categories, the Crailsheim-based machine manufacturer has put together a truly exceptional presentation, including the premiere of its latest TLM generation.

It is often said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And chocolate fans can confirm that a fascination for cocoa products usually leads to them being savoured on the spot.This same passion also drove the founder of the ‘Louit’ chocolate factory, who was in love at the time. The company, which has an eventful history and now goes by the name Atlantic Štark, produces an impressive array of chocolates, biscuits and cookies in Belgrade – with the help of cutting-edge automation technology from Schubert.

With a festive balloon christening at its headquarters in Crailsheim, Schubert is continuing its long-standing tradition of hot air ballooning. The new balloon replaces the previous model and will now serve as a flying ambassador for the Schubert brand.

A milestone achievement for Schubert: The Cobot tog.519 has been honored with the World Confectionery Conference Award 2025. On September 11, 2025, Olivia Collyer and Tim Jäger accepted the award in Brussels.

Schubert North America, a subsidiary of the global Schubert Group and a leader in packaging automation, is set to highlight its latest innovations at Pack Expo Las Vegas, September 29–October 1, 2025 . With more than 2,500 exhibitors and 45,000 attendees expected, the event is one of the most important trade shows for packaging and processing technologies.

High energy prices, the demands of the circular economy and a lack of young talent are putting increasing pressures on the packaging industry. Digitalisation and AI are further driving the transformation – with great potential, but also with many new questions. In this interview, Uwe Galm, Director of Customer Services at Schubert, talks about current customer needs, the impact of the skills shortage and how innovative service concepts can help make production processes future-proof.

Leadership has changed significantly in recent decades. Whereas clear hierarchies, control, and instructions often set the tone in the past, other values are now at the forefront: trust, transparency, personal responsibility, and the ability to inspire people. Social change, technological developments, and an increasingly complex working environment have led to a rethinking of leadership— including at Schubert.

Although the industry often talks about lines and lanes, packaging machines don’t necessarily have to take up a lot of space. At this year’s FACHPACK, Schubert will be impressively demonstrating that compact solutions are possible with a cartoner from its ‘lightline’ series and a new, versatile high-performance erection unit. The exceptionally agile tog.519 cobot, which will be picking biscuits at remarkable speed at a partner company’s stand, will also be on display at the trade fair.

When pragmatic thinking meets ecological entrepreneurship, success soon follows. Gerhard Schubert GmbH took part in an assessment carried out by the T&O Group management consultancy for the first time and it emerged as the overall winner of the ‘Lean & Green Management Award’ in the ‘Lean & Green Excellence’ category. The successful completion of the in-depth assessment clearly shows that Schubert is solution-oriented and sustainable through and through – thanks to a culture that truly lives both values rather than just making them part of the system.

Trade fair premieres have always been something special. Schubert’s first attendance at Automatica (24 to 27 June) is also marked by groundbreaking technology. The autonomous tog.519 cobot, developed in-house in Crailsheim, impressively demonstrates how outstanding versatility and performance can be combined thanks to a fully integrated system.
