Komori America

Komori Americas and Screen USA have entered into a strategic selling agreement that effectively joins the two companies’ sales organizations.

PRINT 13 and CPP EXPO had a successful five-day run in McCormick Place. "Two common themes seemed to be repeated by attendees and exhibitors alike at the show this year," reported Ralph Nappi, president of the Graphic Arts Show Company. "First, a sense of optimism existed that has not been evidenced in our industry for a few years; the second was the surprising number of deals that were inked at the show."

Komori Corp. announced the launch of the Pepio offset-gravure press line, designed for the manufacture of printed electronics. “First and foremost, Komori is an expert in precision manufacturing, and the entry into the printed electronics marketplace reinforces Komori’s message at drupa 2012 that we are expanding into new markets,” says Kosh Miyao, president and COO of Komori America.

The new Impremia press line that was introduced by Komori at drupa 2012, consists of two inkjet offerings, the IS29 sheetfed model and the IW20 web-fed machine. "We have taken what Komori knows best—precision manufacturing—and married it with inkjet technology," said Jacki Hudmon, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Komori America.

Komori Corp. and Landa Corp. have announced a global strategic partnership under which Landa will license Komori to manufacture and market digital printing presses for commercial and other printing markets using Landa’s Nanographic Printing process. The Process employs ink ejectors to create the digital ink images that get applied to the printing stock.
