Edelmann returns to the web offset market

The Turkish Umur Group has acquired the assets of the Edelmann Graphics in insolvency in Beerfelden, Germany. Business will continue under the name of Edelmann Printing Machines (EPM).

The product range of the narrow and mid width web offset and hybrid machines is almost unchanged and Edelmann will continue to operate in the labels, packaging, forms and security printing markets. The Umur Group, Edelmann’s biggest customer, says that Edelmann’s management and sub supplier structure will not change.

Edelmann will continue to service its branded printing and collating machines installed around the world. The company said in a statement: ‘We also want to let you know that the Manroland AG handed over the service and spare part rights for all the Practica machines which are in the market to Edelmann.’

Almost all the sales and service partners worldwide of the former Edelmann Graphics will continue to be the sales and service partners of EPM.
