Windmoeller & Hoelscher Announces Record Sales Windmoeller & Hoelscher has announced record sales of more than 840 million EUR (US $1 billion) for 2017. “We grew across all business units: Extrusion, print- ing and converting,” said CEO Dr. Jürgen Vutz. The printing division, consisting of f lexographic and gravure presses, achieved 270 million EUR world- wide worldwide. “Due to ground-breaking technologies launched at Drupa 2016 in Düsseldorf, our business has boomed,” stated Klaus Kleemann, VP of Sales at W&H North America.The new technologies cited by Kleemann in- clude W&H’s own fully-integrated VISION assistance system, and the TURBOCLEAN ADVANCED E inking and wash-up system, which was recently highlighted at last week’s FTA InfoFlex trade show held in Indianapo- lis, Indiana.TURBOCLEAN ADVANCED E is a low-main- tenance and pulsation-free inking and wash-up system that reportedly offers printers significant cost savings by reducing ink loss during wash-up by 30 percent and lowering overall energy consumption by 80 percent. The VISION package, meanwhile, combines systems for web monitoring, bar code check, printing impres- sion, and register setting in one single operator interface.
