The participation at this year’s Ifra, the leading international trade show for the newspaper industry, was very successful for technotrans.

More than 10.000 visitors from 80 countries came to Hamburg to catch up on trends and innovations during the three day event. „Compared to the last show one year ago the number of specific projects that we discussed with visitors to our booth was up by more than 30 percent“, Henry Brickenkamp, Speaker of the Board of Directors, sums up the event. „Despite the apparently low expectations in the newspaper industry this is a clear sign that investment plans are returning to normal. The projects in discussion are for new machines as well as for retrofitting existent machines. In both cases technotrans offers a wide range of solutions to increase productivity and production quality.”

 „This year visitors were particularly interested in our spray bars. These are resistant against contamination due to their special valve caps, which in turn considerably reduces maintenance requirements“, says Walter Bartmann, Key Account Manager at technotrans. „Apart from the wide range of cleaning systems we also had a lot of interest in the new pump for UV inks, as many newspaper companies are looking for ways to stand out from their competitors.“
