Stuttgart, 16 September 2026 – Dataline is further strengthening its presence in the DACH region with Jan Lukat and Yves Mössinger. Both Business Development managers combine extensive experience in the graphic industry with in-depth knowledge of Print ERP and automation. Together with Christian Herr, they will support print, sign, LFP, label and packaging businesses across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, helping them organise and automate their business processes more effectively.
The expansion reflects Dataline’s continued focus on DACH, an important market where businesses face familiar industry challenges: increasingly complex workflows, high administrative workloads and continued pressure on margins. Dataline’s specialised Print ERP solutions address these challenges by connecting processes, reducing manual work and improving the flow of information across the business. The objective is clear: less administration, stronger margins and greater profitability.

Jan Lukat, turning print complexity into connected processes
Jan Lukat brings more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the graphic industry, with particular expertise in sign and large-format printing, visual communications and ERP solutions. His experience is rooted in the day-to-day reality of print businesses, where disconnected processes can quickly lead to missing information, repeated follow-up questions, planning pressure and unnecessary administrative work. Lukat understands where time and margin are lost when sales, estimating, planning, production and order management are not connected effectively.
At Dataline, he will use that experience to help graphic businesses identify where better structure and automation can make a tangible difference. Based in Germany, Lukat will support Dataline’s continued growth across the DACH region, helping graphic companies connect their processes and operate more effectively and profitably.
Yves Mössinger, bridging production experience and automation
Yves Mössinger combines first-hand production experience with strong expertise in sales, MIS/ERP and Web-to-Print software, digitalisation and business development. He began his career as a sheetfed offset printer, giving him first-hand insight into graphic production on the shop floor. Over the years, he moved into commercial roles and, from 2017 onwards, increasingly focused on software and digitalisation for the graphic industry.
Through his work at Obility and uTraxx, Mössinger built extensive experience in print software, automation and market development across the DACH region. At Dataline, he will focus particularly on Switzerland, Austria and southern Germany, helping print businesses turn operational challenges into practical opportunities for automation and smarter process organisation.
Strong local business expertise across the DACH region
Together, Jan Lukat, Yves Mössinger and Christian Herr give print businesses across Germany, Austria and Switzerland direct access to local experts with extensive graphic arts experience and in-depth knowledge of Print ERP, automation and digitalisation. They understand both the operational realities of graphic production and the technology needed to connect and automate business processes.
Dirk Deroo, CEO of Dataline: “The DACH region is a strategically important market for Dataline. Jan and Yves understand the business behind print: what happens on the production floor, how work moves through sales, estimating and planning, and where disconnected processes cost time and erode margins. Together with Christian Herr, they bring the experience to help graphic businesses identify where Print ERP and automation can reduce administration, connect processes and improve profitability.”
