Muller Martini Open House

The Concepta web printing press.An open house was recently held in Maulburg (Germany) to inaugurate the new Print Technology Center and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Muller Martini Printing Presses GmbH. Visitors had the opportunity to see the high-performance Concepta printing press and the infinitely variable VSOP in action, as well as listen to exciting specialist talks and exchange experiences with print specialists.

The company, which was originally intended by company founder Hans Müller to be just a subsidiary that would take the pressure off Muller Martini’s core manufacturing activities, soon developed as an independent business segment and experienced a success story all of its own due to its narrow web printing presses with countless different equipment versions for the business forms printing market.

The infinitely variable VSOP web printing press.Today, Muller Martini Printing Presses GmbH with its web printing presses is a strong partner for the paper market (pharmaceutical inserts, security printing, mail shots, forms), as well as cardboard box printing, label printing on a wide range of substrates, and flexible package printing.

Muller Martini currently offers four printing press types: the Alprinta and the Concepta producing high-quality mail shots, commercial work, security printing materials and pharmaceutical inserts, while the Alprinta V and the infinitely variable VSOP are ideal for printing labels, flexible packaging and cardboard.

Live demos at the open house allowed visitors to see how the Concepta’s intelligent software provides for short setup times and little production waste. The infinitely variable VSOP demonstrated how quick changeovers to new sizes can be. That is especially important in flexible package printing, because runs are decreasing in size owing to the rapidly growing variety of end products.
