Gert Talen (the GT in the company name) began life in the graphic arts industry as a flexo printer back in 1988. Through various endeavours in the intervening years, he has built a reputation for being a great solver of print problems and is often referred to as ‘Gert the Label’. Today, with son Luke and daughter Anna, he owns and manages GT Etiketten & Labels based at Schoonebeek on the Dutch/German border, which affords him easy access to the packaging markets of western Europe.
