Creditor’s committee agrees on stable investor solution for manroland – future existence of all production sites secured  The creditors’ committee under the guidance of provisional insolvency administrator Werner Schneider and chief representative of manroland Dr. Frank Kebekus was able to reach an amicable solution for an investor concept in the course of the company’s insolvency proceedings.

He cited the existing operating concepts, the planned absorption of employees, as well as the rapid implementation of sales contracts as the main criteria guiding the committee’s decision. According to the concept, the Augsburg site (webfed printing systems), will be sold to the Possehl Group.

There are positive signs of the timely acquisition of further third-party orders, which will ens... [read more] |

| Ready for future challenges in Northern ItalyBella Italia has become even more beautiful – in particular, this applies to two northern Italian printing houses. This is where new manroland sheetfed presses took up operation. Grafiche Antiga now uses a ROLAND 700 DirectDrive, while Print Duemila installed a ROLAND 900. The new printing systems allow these customers to expand their production capacities.
Located roughly 50 kilometers northwest of Venice, Grafiche Antiga is one of northern Italy’s most prominent graphic arts industry operations. To increase its capacities, the printing house invested for the third time in a ROLAND 700, this time in an eight-color perfector press of the DirectDrive generation. It replaces a competitor’s press. To remain internationally competitive, Grafiche Antiga offers its customers a wide range of products that are entirely produced in-house. For its more than...

In 2011 China once again proved to be by far manroland’s largest single sheetfed offset market ahead of Germany and Brazil. The trend towards high-end presses and Value Added Printing thus continues in China.
In China manroland has a tradition for being a markedly strong brand and customers’ trust in the Offenbach sheetfed printing presses continues to be very high. Now, just before the Chinese New Year on 23 January 2012, the level of investments reaches a peak. This is proved by three large orders summing up to an amount within the lower double-digit millions euro range.
