Overview
Printing Equipment Manufacturing covers printing presses, digital printing systems, and related graphic-arts and finishing machinery. It is led by printing-equipment majors (HP, Heidelberg, Koenig & Bauer, Komori, Xerox) serving commercial printers, packaging converters, and publishers.
Demand has been pressured by the secular decline of commercial print, offset by growth in digital, packaging, and industrial/functional printing. It is a small, mature, consolidating segment in structural transition, where digital and packaging printing are the growth and M&A focus.
