Key Production Group accelerates European expansion with new Hamburg office and new appointment

London, UK, Wednesday 9th September, 2026: Key Production Group, Europe’s leading bespoke physical music and packaging manufacturing agency, unveils significant growth in its EU division. 

 

Launched in 2024, Key Production EU was established to bring the company’s physical music manufacturing and packaging expertise to the European market. Since its launch, the division has recorded a 97.7% compound monthly growth rate, bringing its award-winningservices to clients across Germany, France, Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Spain and more. 

 

The continued growth has prompted Key Production EU to expand its presence in Germany with a new Hamburg office. Felix Horstmann has joined the team as Account Manager, where he will oversee projects from the initial receipt of artwork through to delivery of the finished product.

 

Andreas Kohl, European Operations Manager at Key Production, said: “Since launching in 2024, we’ve seen strong demand for our services across Europe, reflecting the continued importance of physical formats. Establishing a presence in Hamburg is the next step in strengthening our European offering and bringing us closer to the clients we work with.”

 

Neil Gibbons, Chief Operating Officer at Key Production Group, continues, “Our European division has grown significantly over the past two years, both in terms of our client base and the scale of projects we’re delivering. The new Hamburg office gives us a stronger base from which to support that growth, while Felix’s appointment adds further expertise to the team. It’s an important step as we continue to build Key’s presence across the European market.”
