Germany-based Manroland Web Systems has launched what it claims is a "a one-stop solution" for the packaging printing industry.

For applications ranging from board to foil printing, an optimised arrangement of presses with offset, flexo, and gravure printing units in hybrid configuration is available.

The PECOM-X drive, operation, and workflow management system is the basis for combining various components from Manroland Web Systems into a one-system solution.

The first press of the new generation has been sold with Offset and Gravure printing units for the flexible packaging industry.

The most modern of the company's pre-setting, regulating and control systems enable waste reduction of double digit figures.

An integral component of the one-stop solution is the globally available Life-Time-Service package, which is strongly linked with the automation of the press.

A further $28.7 million has been allocated to successful applicants through the federal Industry Growth Program, including several developing technologies to support the food system. The latest round included Blue Carbon, Provectus Algae, and Uncharted Waters.

Endeavour Group’s net profit after tax fell 16 per cent to $426 million in FY25. While results were buoyed by the Hotel business, retail sales fell to $10 billion, reflecting subdued consumer spending in retail liquor and supply chain disruption during the peak Christmas trading period.
