When Experience and Network make the Difference:

Executive Search in the Printing Industry

For more than 37 years, Apenberg & Partner has been the trusted partner for filling leadership positions in the printing and packaging industry. Over this time, we have built not only a unique network but also a reputation of trust—trust that opens doors others cannot access. This trust is our greatest asset: industry talent knows us, values our expertise, and is open to meaningful dialogue.

For us, executive search is far more than comparing résumés. The key is the precise alignment of professional qualifications, personality, and corporate culture. This is where our strength lies: we bring the right people together—for lasting success.

Our structured process covers every critical step, from position analysis through to successful onboarding:

  • Position Analysis: Development of a tailored requirements profile that goes far beyond technical skills.
  • Research: Use of state-of-the-art tools combined with our well-established industry network.
  • Market Expertise: Deep understanding of markets, competitors, and adjacent segments to leverage the full candidate potential.
  • Identification & Approach: Direct access to top executives who would never respond to conventional job postings.
  • Selection Process: Thorough interviews, competency assessments, and the creation of a carefully curated shortlist.
  • Presentation & Decision: Dedicated support through to the signing of the contract.
  • Integration: Advisory support during the first months to ensure a smooth start and long-term success.

Our strength becomes particularly evident at the C-level: we engage top talent who are not actively seeking new opportunities and inspire them to take on the right challenge. Thanks to our established network and decades of industry expertise, we uniquely connect companies with exceptional leaders.

Apenberg & Partner stands for commitment, trust, and measurable results. Our mission is not merely to fill positions but to create sustainable partnerships between companies and executives—and we have been doing so for nearly four decades.
