The sellers are members of the Janoschka family and Süd Beteiligungen GmbH based in Stuttgart. Janoschka is an international provider of integrated pre-press solutions for the packaging industry.

Janoschka AG, based in Kippenheim, Baden-Württemberg, employs around 1,500 staff and operates production facilities in twelve countries. The group comprises two divisions: Janoschka is responsible for graphic reproduction and the manufacture of printing and embossing tools, whilst Linked2Brands operates as a pre-media production agency and provides support with packaging design and preparation. Together, the two units cover key stages of the pre-press value chain for the packaging industry. Its customers include, in particular, packaging manufacturers and brand owners from the FMCG sector. In the 2025 financial year, the company generated revenue of around €90 million.
