Special Drupa Coverage — Bindery Plays A Crucial Role
Drupa was also an opportunity for bindery vendors to reach new markets. Baum was at Drupa for the first time hoping to find new overseas dealers for its American-made products. Spiel Associates reported few Americans, but many Europeans checking out its Coilmaster Jr. and other products.
Muller Martini used Drupa to unveil its new color scheme. The equipment in its impressive, 29,000-square-foot booth was all painted “laser blue.” What’s more, its products now feature more modern, ergonomic designs, with curved covers and operating elements positioned at optimal working height and at the best angle of incline for the operator.
