Dear reader,

impressive gains in the double digit million Euros is certainly good news for Manroland Sheetfed and the remaining employees of the Manroland AG in Offenbach, Germany. Even if one has to allow for taxes and if it is somewhat unclear exactly from what sources the profits can be attributed to. Otherwise the news are relatively quiet probably due to the recent holidays. The industry is looking at the upcoming trade shows such as China Print, Printtek in Istanbul and the Lope-C and we will keep you posted.

Here is a selection of recent news; for all news please see our website www.druckspiegel.de


Sincerely,

PS: Interested in advertising in our special issue on printed electronics? Contact us at jpf@druckspiegel.de or +49 (0)69 94415084.
