W+D acquires Halm Industries

Print Solutions

Winkler+Dünnebier is strengthening its position as a long term technology partner for the envelope and printed mail market with the acquisition of Halm Industries, a leading manufacturer of offset and digital printing presses. Halm has locations in Glen Head, New York, and Warmond, Netherlands.

‘Halm’s new four colour digital inkjet envelope overprinting press, designed to meet customers’ rapidly growing demand for personalisation and short run envelope overprinting production, will be a perfect complement to W+D’s short run, highly flexible and easy to use line of envelope converting, inserting and printing solutions,’ said Frank Eichhorn, managing director of W+D. ‘We are eager to globalise this new product’s very successful North American introduction. Plus, W+D will assume the service for the installed base of all Halm machines, with the support of key team members in the US and in Warmond.’
