Perusa sells German Kammann Maschinenbau GmbH

Matthias Graf, Managing Director and co-owner of Kammann, says: "With increasing prosperity, premium packaging is steadily gaining importance, even in emerging markets. Market forecasts therefore anticipate above-average growth in this segment." Dr. Christian Maas, also a member of the management team and co-owner, adds: "In terms of process technology, direct printing using high-quality screen printing is the most demanding finishing method. This prevents newcomers from entering this luxury segment, which is dominated by very few manufacturers. Kammann has the world's best product offering in this area."

Dr. Christian Hollenberg, Managing Director of Perusa GmbH, which advises the fund, says: "Kammann is a technological gem that is an excellent fit for Koenig & Bauer. We are pleased that our successful restructuring of the company has made this promising alliance possible."
