Manroland Sheetfed Turns Small Profit for Parent Langley Holdings in 2014

Manroland Sheetfed, the printing press builder acquired in 2012, is the group's largest division in revenue and employee terms and reported a small profit. Piller, the producer of power protection systems for data centers and Claudius Peters, the plant machinery constructor, performed in line with expectations whilst the “other businesses” division, principally Bradman Lake, the packaging machinery specialist, also had a satisfactory year. ARO, the manufacturer of welding machinery for the automobile sector, experienced another successful year despite the expected downturn in demand which did not materialize in 2014.
