After the merger of two printing press producers,
manroland web systems and Goss International, the newly formed manroland Goss
Group had a successful financial year 2018, according to the company. With a
combined turnover of 293 million euros ($332 million) and order intake of 327
million euros ($370.5 million), the company “has solidified its leading market
position in web offset,” according to the company.
Major orders at the turn of the year valuing
50 million euros ($56.6 million) raised the order backlog to 200 million euros
($226.6 million) in the project business. “The company is currently at a very
good capacity level, stretching into the second quarter of 2020,” according to
the company.
"We have created a global company with
the merger and provide the most comprehensive offer available on the market,
with reduced cost structures and with a focus on efficient business processes.
This is reflected now in our operative performance indicators," said
Alexander Wassermann, CEO of the Germany-based company. "Our strategy is
clear: A further expansion of our market position as well as the development of
new profitable business fields."
R&D funding has been primarily invested in
future-oriented areas, including flexible packaging printing, the preventative
press maintenance system Maintellisense and the intelligent B2B eCommerce
trading platform MARKET-X, according to the company. The company says two
acquisitions support the company strategy: the asset purchase of Harland Simon
and the share purchase of GWS Printing Systems.
