Starrag Group<br />

New look, new image<br />

We revised our brand concept during the year<br />

under review in the context of the strategic<br />

acquisition of Dörries Scharmann and adjusted<br />

our branding to address the new circumstances.<br />

The company as a group now presents itself<br />

under the Starrag Group name while the products<br />

themselves are sold under the same strong,<br />

established brands as before: Berthiez, Dörries,<br />

Droop+Rein, Heckert, Scharmann, SIP, Starrag,<br />

TTL, WMW.<br />

The updated brand concept creates better clarity<br />

at all levels. The catchy new overarching corporate<br />

logo symbolizes the precision and reliability<br />

to which all nine well-established brands have<br />

always been committed: A cut above the rest.<br />

––<br />

Taking off in Asia<br />

We inaugurated a technology center in Bangalore,<br />

India in 2010 to provide engineering support to<br />

customers in the region as well as a range of<br />

services to boost productivity. In the year under<br />

review, construction work on a new production<br />

plant for the manufacture of machining centers<br />

for the Indian market began at a location near<br />

Bangalore International Airport – Starrag Group’s<br />

first production site located outside Europe.<br />

Our commitment in <strong>2011</strong> and 2012 totals approximately<br />

CHF10 million as part of an ongoing<br />

strategy of investment in promising Asian markets.<br />

The first machine deliveries are scheduled<br />

for 2013.
