Düsseldorf/Oosterhout, July 2016
- The second week of Drupa 2016 proved even
more successful than the first for Q.I. Press Controls - Engineering Automation
Electronics (QIPC-EAE). The specialist in automation for the printing industry
added 6.3 million Euros to its order books during the 11-day Düsseldorf-based
event, trebling the 2 million Euros in orders that had been taken in the first
week. And, it's likely that even more orders will follow, says QIPC-EAE chairman,
Menno Jansen.
Menno
Jansen is delighted by the course of events at what is the most important trade
show for the printing industry. “In fact, it's beyond our wildest dreams. It's
clear that the printing industry is enjoying a renaissance at the moment: the
print media are alive and kicking. The impulses are not just commercial ones -
in the newspaper industry too, the investment climate is improving.” QIPC-EAE's
man in charge was delighted to welcome so many visitors to the stand. “Our
sales team had an incredibly busy time answering the questions of interested
visitors. It was demanding, but hard work pays off in the end."
During
the final week of Drupa 2016, QIPC received orders from Gulf News, Dubai, for an mRC-3D system for colour and cut-off
register on its manroland CROMOMAN; from Merkur Zeitungsdruck AG, Switzerland, for an mRC-3D for colour and
cut-off register and an IDS-3D colour control; and from Mittelrhein-Verlag, Germany,
for a colour register, fan-out and cut-off register control. “And I can also
tell you that the largest order still has to be revealed because our client has
requested we make no media announcements for the time being”, adds Menno
Jansen. “What's more, requests keep flooding in for our new IBS-100 and Desk
7.0 products. Our sales staff will be following up all these leads as and when
they can.”
Not only
did QIPC receive the necessary orders: at EAE too, several upgrade orders were
placed for existing systems. This includes one from Maroc Soir S.a. based in Casablanca, Morocco.
During the first week of Drupa 2016, QIPC had already taken orders from Israel
Today, Rotativos Patagonia from Argentinia and Sanmarg Pvt from India.
Also during the first week, EAE received an order from German-based Funke
Medien.
