Malekapane Primary School

Durst Group has been announced as the first official partner of the FESPA Foundation and will sponsor a school as part of its involvement.

Neil Felton, CEO, FESPA, said: “We are delighted to announce that Durst is the first organisation in our community to join our Adopt a School initiative by partnering with Malekapane Primary School. We look forward to sharing the inspiring journey ahead, as both Durst and the school embark on this meaningful collaboration.”

The Adopt a School initiative connects printing businesses with schools in dire need of resources, primarily in South Africa.

Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group, added: “We are truly honoured to be the first partner to step forward and also to take up the FESPA Foundation’s Adopt a School initiative by sponsoring Malekapane Primary School. Supporting this project marks more than just a contribution to education – it symbolises the values that have shaped Durst over the past nine decades: innovation, responsibility and long-term impact. As we approach our 90th anniversary in 2026, we see this partnership as a meaningful way to give back and set the tone for the next chapter of Durst – one that continues to combine cutting-edge technology with real-world purpose.”

Durst’s involvement as the first official partner of the FESPA Foundation, and its commitment to sponsoring a school, sets a powerful precedent for other industry leaders to join the FESPA Foundation’s vital cause.
