Benninger AG acquires LAB-PRO GmbH

LAB-PRO GmbH was founded in 2003 by Thomas Widmer and Thomas Gerhard. With their excellent market and product knowledge, they have succeeded in building up a complete range of world-leading technological products for discontinuous wet finishing within 17 years. Especially the jet dyeing machines and jiggers from LAB-PRO are known for having the lowest water and energy consumption and lowest fabric elongation compared to competitors' machines. 

By combining the know-how and experience of both companies, Benninger becomes a leading system supplier in the field of continuous and now also discontinuous dyeing and finishing technology.

By using Benninger's worldwide sales, service and production network, LAB-PRO will be able to increase its market presence. The integration of LAB-PRO's experience in discontinuous dyeing technology leads to a further strengthening of Benninger as a total solution provider.

With the leading products FabricMaster (Jet), JigMaster (Jigger) and BeamMaster (HT Beam dyeing ) Benninger strengthens its strategy as a partner for all customers in the premium segment of the wet finishing industry.

Mr. Widmer and Mr. Gerhard will continue to lead the company LAB-PRO as managing directors.
