The planned joint venture buy out of MAN Roland by MAN and Allianz Capital Partners will be in a strong position to play an active role in forthcoming industry consolidation announced Gerd Finkbeiner, chairman of the executive board,
MAN Roland Druckmaschinen. Growth will include strategic acquisitions he said.
“The intention is to develop further the world’s second largest manufacturer of printing systems and go public with it in three to five years. With financially strong owners MAN Roland will be able to continue resolutely the value growth programme already started. We have to show that this company is growing – a pre-requisite for public listing.
“We intend to sustain our sheetfed profitability, continue our organic growth in sheet-fed and webfed, grow through new business activities such as services and grow by regional expansion in Brazil, Russia, India and China.” He added: “We will also grow by selected acquisitions. Her I believe we will concentrate on areas where we are active today, but we will look at gaps in applications and customer sectors.”
Company name, brand name and logo will be retained. Value added printing is a key component of the sheet fed philosophy explained recent addition to the board Dr Markus Rall.
