GTT Communications, a secure cloud networking solutions provider, renewed and expanded its ongoing partnership with Siegwerk, a manufacturer of printing ink and coatings for packaging applications and labels.
GTT has been a strategic partner since 2018, and provides Siegwerk a global managed SD-WAN that is enhanced with security and professional services, serving 65 offices and production sites. The manufacturer relies on GTT services for network sourcing, visibility, orchestration, management and security, allowing it to manage and prioritize application and network performance while supporting uninterrupted connectivity to its manufacturing and supply chain operations.
“At Siegwerk, we’re expanding the applications for inks and coatings, from enabling breakthrough product designs to innovations that support a circular packaging economy,” said Mohamed El Ashmawy, Siegwerk CIO. “Our global network is critical to our success, and we are happy to continue working with GTT to keep our business secure and connected — even in regions where sourcing robust connectivity can be challenging. Our partnership with GTT has helped us control costs whilst increasing available bandwidth across our network by 40 percent, supporting reliable access to the cloud and helping us propel our digital strategy forward.”
GTT will continue to provide Siegwerk with Managed SD-WAN, dedicated internet access, internet security and managed firewall services, in addition to new DDoS mitigation and enhanced professional services support. The addition of DDoS mitigation, in particular, ensures comprehensive, inline defense against DDoS attacks, safeguarding data analytics functions and preventing manufacturing operations disruption.
“We are proud to provide the secure and resilient connectivity and security services that optimize Siegwerk’s network performance and safeguard its digital resources for the life of its evolving network,” said Tom Homer, president, Europe division, GTT. “The renewal and expansion of our partnership with Siegwerk demonstrates how GTT’s robust and reliable solutions continue to successfully meet the high demands of today’s data-driven manufacturing industry.”
