With this step, the group is consistently aligning its gov- ernance structure with market requirements and strength- ening the independence of the segments. As part of the ‘Spotlight’ focus programme, Koenig & Bauer already announced the D&W 2.0 reorganization program at the beginning of May 2024 to address the on- going loss-making situation in the Digital & Webfed seg- ment. The program focuses on organizational, structural, and operational measures to safeguard earnings opportunities in the growth markets of flexible packaging, digital print- ing and corrugated board. This program is headed by An- dreas Pleßke, CEO of Koenig & Bauer. With this program, the company said that the group is also reflecting the developments in the current product portfolio of the Digital & Webfed segment at management level. In recent years, the focus has moved to inkjet, CI flexo and corrugated printing presses in addition to the exten- sive service business - also for the installed base of news- paper presses. In his function as board member of Koenig & Bauer AG, Christoph Müller will increasingly focus on the network built up over decades to further advance technologies and partnerships in the field of digital printing, the company said.
