New brochures

– now with links to further information

Since the ITMA 2015 in Milan (Italy), Groz-Beckert has had a new corporate design. All the information brochures for the company's products and services have been revised and optimized accordingly.

A further new feature is the QR code that can be found at various locations in the brochures: When scanned, it leads to the digital version of the relevant brochure as well as to additional related information. As a result, the two worlds – analog and digital – are linked and enhanced.
