History

Goebel is humbly looking back on a history time span of over 165 years!

1851 Peter Gandenberger was the founder of the company, while Johann
Georg Goebel provided the company name, when he became his son-inlaw.
He developed the first railway ticket press, the beginning of Goebel’s
security printing activities.

1890 Johann Peter Michael ("Jean") Goebel, followed his father’s footsteps.
He established a new manufacturing division within Goebeldeveloping slitter
rewinders for the paper industry. His lifetime achievement as an industry
innovator, engineer and businessman was honored by the title Peter Gandenberger
“Councillor of Commerce”.

1911 The first web-fed postal stamp printing machine has been built for the
state printing works in Germany. Many more machines followed and nearly all
postal stamp printers worldwide have Goebel stamp printing machines until today.

1923 Dr. Wilhelm Köhler has been employed by his friend Wilhelm Goebel,
who took over a prosperous company from his father "Jean" Goebel.
Dr. Wilhelm Köhler became known by his outstanding social and commercial
engagement for Goebel. He started as commercial apprentice and became
the proprietor of Goebel. Later on his daughter, Dr. Lotte Köhler, was major
Johann Georg Goebel
shareholder and in charge of Goebel for many years.

to Bank of England, and other countries followed in web-fed banknote printing.

on three main pillars: Engineering of machines for high
security printing, manufacturing of printing machines for
multiple applications and engineering of slitter rewinders
for the converting industry.

efficiency and maximum productivity.
