On four consecutive days the event partners MAN Roland, Kriechbaumer, and Epple Druckfarben also ran a technical symposium which dealt with many aspects of perfecting printing.
The Fritz Kriechbaumer printing company specialises in printing with long perfectors. Founded in Munich in 1952, the company installed its first MAN Roland perfecting press in 1998, a ten-colour ROLAND 700. Another ten-colour followed in 2000, three years later a twelve-colour was installed and the half-sheet ROLAND 500 P with eight printing units started production last year. In the intervening years two short perfectors, a two-colour and a four-colour ROLAND 700, were installed for jobs with less colour content.
In the space of seven years Kriechbaumer has doubled the number of its printing units and tripled its output. Last year the company’s output was 120 million sheets printed both sides and thus Kriechbaumer is the largest sheetfed commercial printer in the Munich area and one of the largest in all of Bavaria.
