L’annuncio è di qualche giorno fa. Rivelata da Landa a drupa a giugno 2016, adesso il restante sviluppo e l’ingegnerizzazione della tecnologia chiamata «metallography», verrà trasferita alla divisione Actega Coatings & Sealants di Altana, che ha detto di voler portare al mercato questa promettente tecnologia nei prossimi anni.

Impossible to overlook at the Landa Nanographic stand at drupa 2016 was the towering pile of glittering scrap foil put there to dramatize the difference between conventional foiling and a new method that Landa was then in the process of inventing.

Der Weseler Spezialchemiekonzern Altana mit Sitz an der Abelstraße, hat eine neuartige Metallografie-Technologie von der israelischen Landa-Gruppe erworben. Die erstmals auf der Druckmesse Drupa im Juni vorgestellte Technologie ermöglicht metallische Effekte auf Druckerzeugnissen und spart bis zu 50 Prozent der Kosten herkömmlicher Verfahren wie dem Folientransfer, heißt es. Landa werde, so teilte Altana gestern mit, die noch erforderlichen Entwicklungs- und Konstruktionsarbeiten sukzessive auf den Geschäftsbereich Actega Coatings & Sealants übertragen, der die Technologie in den kommenden Jahren zur Marktreife führen werde.

I feel very privileged to have been able to interview two very significant people within Landa’s senior ranks: Nachum Korman, and Gilad Tzori. They not only answered my questions, but shared very real and candid details with me, including the exclusive scoop that the first beta site is confirmed, and it is in North America.

Selling off metallography patents and IP to German partner Altana frees up the Israeli company to focus on delivering its groundbreaking Nanography presses to market this northern summer.

Landa Digital Printing (LDP) investor Altana has acquired the Landa Metallography technology that was previewed at Drupa last year.

Specialty chemicals firm ALTANA has acquired Landa’s Metallography technology, which was first unveiled by Landa at Drupa in June, 2016. The novel technology for producing metallized graphics is described as a sustainable alternative to foil-transfer processes, enabling metallization graphics at up to half the cost of conventional foil stamping.

The Landa Group and ALTANA AG today announced that ALTANA has acquired Landa's Metallography technology.

El Grupo Landa anuncia que ALTANA ha adquirido la tecnología Metallography de Landa. Esta nueva tecnología para la producción de gráficos metalizados es una alternativa sostenible a los procesos de transferencia de láminas, permitiendo que los gráficos de metalización lleguen a la mitad del precio de la estampación convencional. Landa transferirá progresivamente el resto de los trabajos de desarrollo e ingeniería a la división de recubrimientos y selladores ACTEGA de ALTANA, que llevará al mercado la tecnología Metallography en los próximos años.
