2006 was a good year for MAN Roland Greater China: sales were excellent and have demonstrated a tremendous growth potential, the company states.
The Roland 900, XXL with full UV applications made its debut in Asia, at Suzhou Dongyi Packaging, in China. With the acquisition of the XXL, Suzhou has become MAN Roland’s ‘Sample Factory of Extra Large Format Offset Press’. Chairman of Suzhou, Cai Long Long, says it gives his company the ability to meet the demands of the domestic market and the competence to break into the international market.
“This is a big investment but the intangible advantages that come with it are exceedingly great,” he exclaims. “The Roland 900, XXL has become our motivation to stride forward.”
As part of its expansion plan, packaging printer Yiwu Sanli set up Zhejiang Sanli Printing and built a 30,000m2 factory plant at Hangzhou. In January, 2006, the company signed a contract with MAN Roland for the purchase of five new sheet-fed presses.
“Upon the completion of the installation, we will have 29 printing units of Roland 700 sheet-fed presses,” says managing director of Zhejiang Sanli Zhu Yue Chao. “That creates the framework for a highly expandable packaging printing business. With the Roland presses, we will be able to set up a totally new commercial printing plant and create a strategic factory network across the country.”
