Muller Martini Opts to Halt Web Offset Press Production

Muller Martini also based its decision on the "substantial slump in the turnover in the printing presses segment over a prolonged period." That loss in sales was only partly absorbed in recent years, despite extensive periods of short-time work at its press production site in Maulburg, Germany. The "drastic contraction" of the traditional market for forms printing presses over past decades prompted it to focus on new business segments. Its aim was to establish variable-size web offset printing for labels and flexible packaging in the growing packaging market.
