Dumont subsidiary buys Commander CL from Koenig & Bauer


Halle, Germany-based DuMont subsidiary MZ Druckereigesellschaft is buying a Commander CL from Koenig & Bauer, continuing a partnership that has lasted for more than 180 years, according to Koenig & Bauer.
It is a little over two years ago since the company’s last investment, also a Commander CL. “Our current press offers all the essential prerequisites for success: A high level of automation, reliability, exceptional flexibility and fast makeready. It was clear that we would continue along the chosen road with Koenig & Bauer at our side,” says MZ Managing Director Bernd Preusse. The new Commander CL will enter production in the fourth quarter of 2019. Since the initial market launch just a few years ago, Koenig & Bauer has now sold 27 presses of this type to users in Germany, France, China and the U.S., and it is currently the most frequently ordered newspaper press, according to Koenig & Bauer. 
Alongside the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung, with a circulation of almost 200,000 copies, the 115 employees at MZ produce advertising supplements, brochures, booklets and other print products in the Rhine and half-Rhine formats. Other activities include extensive mailing and logistics services.
