Germany

Schawk entered the German market in August 2009 when it established an office for Anthem Worldwide, its strategic design business, in Düsseldorf, one of Germany’s five global cities and widely known as a centre of the German design and fashion industries.

From Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer and 19th century romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich to the expressionists of the early 20th century and the unique approach to the arts initiated by the legendary Bauhaus, Germany has an extraordinarily rich artistic tradition. Today, contemporary German artists, designers and photographers continue to redefine what is considered avant-garde internationally.

Since the age of industrialisation, this central European country has been a driver and innovator in the global economy. Some of the world’s best known brands come from Germany including Mercedes Benz, SAP, BMW, Adidas, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Nivea.

The German economy is both Europe’s largest and the fifth largest in the world. It’s highly skilled workforce is typically associated with the beauty of design and the rigor required to deliver both exceptional precision and enduring quality.

From its Düsseldorf location, Anthem Worldwide offers branding and strategic design services and currently serves as the gateway to Schawk’s more comprehensive brand point management offering.
