The two entities to be created following the Manroland administration have agreed a global sales and service agreement.
Following Manroland's administration in late 2011, German Possehl Group bought the web arm, while British manufacturer Langley Holdings acquired the sheetfed side.

As part of Langley's purchase, over 40 sales and service companies were acquired, while subsidiaries in India and Australasia were acquired by Possehl.

In the US, Manroland Web Systems began trading from the same premises in Chicago it now shares with Manroland Sheetfed, and in the UK, Manroland Sheetfed (UK) continues to trade from the company's previous premises in Mitcham.

Elsewhere, agency agreements are being agreed with sheetfed subsidiaries to represent Manroland Web Systems in Mexico and South America, excluding Chile; in Ireland, Finland, Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal; in central and eastern Europe, excluding Poland; and in Greater China.

Manroland Web Systems subsidiaries in Australasia and India will continue to represent Manroland Sheetfed in those territories.

A joint statement from the two companies said: "The arrangements make perfect sense for all concerned and both Manroland Web Systems and Manroland Sheetfed look forward to continuing to support their global customers with the highest possible levels of service."
