The orders received at Renz's drupa 2012 stand exceeded the 2008 figures

Renz says the launch of two new binding and punching systems – the Inline 360 and P 360 A – at this year's drupa print show was a success, and led to a 50 percent increase in orders compared to the last drupa in 2008.

The high-speed machines are designed to meet the demands for more automated in-line finishing options and the growing print on demand market, says Renz.

Michael Schubert, Renz Group chief sales officer, says of drupa 2012: "There was a hugely positive air throughout and less negativity and cautiousness than we have experienced from customers in recent years."
