Komori Named Global Supplier for Landa Presses

REHOVOT, ISRAEL—Landa Corp. and Komori Corp. have announced the strengthening of their strategic relationship. The companies had collaborated during Landa's development of Nanography, with Komori providing sheetfed platforms for Landa's launch of Nanographic printing at drupa 2012. The companies have now formalized their long-term strategic alliance by entering into multi-faceted agreements in which Komori will be the global supplier for all sheetfed Landa Nanographic printing press platforms. Landa will also provide Komori with Nanographic printing technology and Landa NanoInk colorants for incorporation into Komori-branded Nanographic printing presses.

Since drupa, Landa engineers have been evaluating proposals from the industry's leading press vendors, both European and Asian, for supply of sheetfed platforms for Landa Nanographic printing presses. In making its assessment, Landa says it took into account caliber of engineering, robustness of design, automation, reliability and cost effectiveness. The vendor's culture of innovation, technical resources, commercial success and financial stability were also important criteria.
