Greycon, a global leader in optimisation, planning, and manufacturing execution systems (MES) for rolled-based industries, announced a major milestone in its European growth strategy with the official launch of Greycon GmbH.
This marks the successful merger and renaming of Greycon’s long-standing sister company, WM Data, forming a single, unified entity to serve the DACH region.
The integration strengthens Greycon’s local footprint following multiple successful implementations across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. By combining WM Data’s well-established regional presence with Greycon’s global capabilities, the company has significantly increased its local headcount to better support its expanding customer base.
Greycon GmbH will now operate as a comprehensive hub for the Paper, Packaging, Converting, Metal, and Non-woven industries. The merger brings together:
- Greycon’s world-class software solutions for production optimisation, planning, and MES.
- WM Data’s industry-recognised expertise, including continued delivery of the renowned FAGUS services.
This unified structure enhances the customer experience, enabling seamless access to a broader portfolio of services and solutions designed to optimise efficiency across complex manufacturing environments.
With expanded teams across consulting, professional services, sales, and customer support, Greycon GmbH is positioned to deliver comprehensive end-to-end service. This includes guiding manufacturers through digital transformation, supporting regulatory compliance, and helping mitigate operational risks in an increasingly dynamic market landscape.
“This strategic merger and growth in the region follows successful implementations and is a natural step forward for our group,” said Richard Brotherton, Managing Director of Greycon Group. “By offering both Greycon’s software solutions and WM Data’s FAGUS services under one roof, we are uniquely positioned to help our customers navigate changes to remain competitive. Our expanded team will be instrumental in helping clients avoid risks and ensure compliance in an ever-changing regulatory landscape.”
