Heidelberg is partnering with Manroland Sheetfed to re-enter the Very Large Format (VLF) market.
The fresh alliance which was announced as part of Heidelberg’s official 175th anniversary celebrations will see to the development of the brand new Cartonmaster CX 145 (format of 1,050×1,450mm) based on Manroland Sheetfed’s Roland 900 Evolution press thus joining Heidelberg’s packaging portfolio of flexo web-fed – the Boardmaster press for folding cartons.
The new Cartonmaster is of size 1,050×1,450mm format and will be fully integrated into its digital ecosystem, including the Prinect workflow, Heidelberg’s customer portal, and its service and consumables setup – one of the largest service network in the industry.
CEO Jürgen Otto said: “It’s about smart cooperation with our partners. Not everything is made by us, but everything is controlled by us.”
