Brook + Whittle, a FTA member company, announces Gallus One digital hybrid press investment. 

This latest addition underscores their commitment to innovation and high-performance label production. Brook + Whittle is expanding their digital printing capabilities with Gallus Group and HEIDELBERG technology.

Brook + Whittle’s investment is the latest of nearly a dozen Gallus press purchases made by US label printers. Prior to the Brook + Whittle announcement, Heidelberg, which owns Gallus, reported more than 10 new press investments secured in the U.S since the start of its fiscal year on April 1, Gallus’ highly modular and flexible label printing solutions, under the System to Compose concept, are gaining significant momentum in the US.

The company says the investments reflect the North American label market’s stable growth path. Specifically, Heidelberg cites AWA Labeling & Product Decoration Market Report 2026, which projects a steady 2% annual growth in the market through 2028.

US converters are translating that outlook into investment, as reflected in the strong momentum HEIDELBERG and Gallus have seen since the start of its fiscal year on April 1, 2026, with multiple presses across the portfolio, including the Gallus RCS, Gallus Labelmaster, Gallus One, and Gallus Five, being placed with US converters in just five months.

Other Gallus investments made by FTA members, including Hub Labels’ investment in a Gallus Five.

Hub Labels was already equipped with a Gallus EM 410, 2 Gallus EM510, 2 Gallus RCS 330, and an early adopter to the Gallus Labelfire 340 Hybrid, signed for the newly launched Gallus Five. At the heart of the Gallus Five is its hybrid concept: flexo and digital inkjet printing are combined on a single platform, further complemented by integrated embellishment and die-cutting modules. Paired with the new HEIDELBERG Saphira UV05 ink set, the press reaches speeds of up to 100 m/min, significantly boosting overall productivity.

“Purchasing the Gallus Five was an easy decision for us,” said Thomas Dahbura, Owner of Hub Labels. “With the ability to color match between flexo and digital processes, we can mix technologies on a single job without compromise, and the little time needed for changing jobs on the hybrid platform is a real paradigm shift for high-SKU work. As a previous early adopter of the Gallus Labelfire 340 – which also combined two technologies on one platform, like the Gallus Five – we are excited to continue working with the HEIDELBERG and Gallus team, as they bring their latest technology to the US market and supports us, in futureproofing our operation with their flexible label solutions.”
