Company History
From 1855 to the Present Day

Since August 2023, CCL Industries Inc. has held all the shares of the Faubel Group, which officially operates under the name CCL Faubel as of the beginning of 2024. With this acquisition, the world's largest label manufacturer, CCL, expands its organizational and operational capacities in the healthcare sector in the European market. Frank Ludwig steps down from the management, leaving Martin Kuge and Frank Jäger to lead CCL Faubel GmbH. The company's headquarters remain in Melsungen.

In 2020 one floor of office and storage space above the web printing production area is demolished and replaced by two floors of offices, conference rooms, and staff rooms.

In 2018 the management celebrates the opening of the "New Technologies" production facility with 230 employees and their families. It is the ninth extension to the Melsungen headquarters since 1982.

In 2014 Faubel turns its focus to the Asian market and establishes a long-term presence in Shanghai, China.

In 2012 Frank Ludwig and Martin Kuge join the organization's management which they have shared with Frank Jäger, Reinhard Kuge's successor, since 2014.

The sales office of Faubel's new sister corporation, Faubel Pharma Services Corp., opens in the USA in 2009.

The Faubel-Compact® Label is patented by the German and the European Patent Offices in 1996. It will receive distinctions from FINAT and the German Packaging Institute in the following years.

Reinhard Kuge becomes a managing partner in 1982. After Kurt Giesler's death, he takes sole charge of the business's 21 employees.

The extension to the new production hall is completed in 1968. It will become home to the first web-fed press for printing labels in 1979.

In 1946 Faubel, along with 15 staff, moves to its present corporate premises in Melsungen and now produces labels for the first time.

In 1943 the corporate headquarters are entirely destroyed by allied bombing raids.

Kurt Giesler marries Jacob Loth's daughter in 1926 and, in 1933, becomes managing partner of the business, which, by this time, has specialized in print products for drugstores and the pharmaceutical industry.

Faubel becomes a limited liability corporation by German law in 1913. The merchants Jacob Loth, Carl Gose, Christoph Gotthart, and Louis Petzold are managing partners from now on.

In 1855 Hermann Faubel opens the "Faubel & Co. Cartonagen- und Papierwaaren-Fabrik Cassel" factory in Kassel, Germany.
