Despite difficult conditions, Koenig & Bauer reports a good order situation for the 2021 financial year. Customers ordered around a third more presses and service solutions than in the previous year. Order intake and revenue were therefore better than the industry average. The forecast for 2022 is made more difficult by current uncertainties.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

According to the company, this result was due to In addition to the P24x efficiency programme, the product and solution portfolio made a significant contribution<\/strong>Koenig & Bauer masters all industrial printing processes on almost all substrates - including corrugated board - and supplies software, systems and services for complete printing and finishing processes.<\/p>

At the end of December 2021, Koenig & Bauer had a high order backlog of \u20ac806.8m, also compared to previous years, as customers ordered a total of 32.4% more presses and service solutions than in the previous year. Turnover rose by a total of 8.5 per cent to \u20ac1,115.8m. Koenig & Bauer was thus able to exceed the industry average for incoming orders and sales in the printing machinery sector<\/strong>. This also applies in particular to the fourth quarter, which was comparatively weak on average for the sector due to the tense procurement environment.<\/p>

\"2021 was both a positive and challenging year for Koenig & Bauer - but together we managed to achieve our annual revenue forecast and exceed the EBIT forecast. Despite all the necessary vigilance in the still very uncertain economic environment, we see this as a sign that we have done a very good job in recent years and that our focus on growth markets such as conventional and digital packaging printing is paying off.\" Dr Andreas Ple\u00dfke<\/strong>Spokesman of the Koenig & Bauer Management Board<\/p><\/blockquote>

Five machines from the Corrucut series were successfully marketed in the Digital & Webfed segment. The machines are designed for the production of rotary die-cut boxes made of corrugated cardboard with high flexo post-print quality. A further breakthrough was achieved in the fourth quarter with the Sale of two high-performance digital printing machines for the packaging market<\/strong> achieved. The RotaJET can be used to digitally print on a wide range of substrates, from thin paper to solid board. This emphasises the versatility of the RotaJET, which has so far been particularly successful in the decor sector, now also arrived in the packaging market<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>
