Calling Altana’s investment a “strong vote of confidence in nanography” and a recognition of how Lando Nanography is a “game changer for the print industry”

While Landa digital printing has continued to work on and improve the quality, reliability and user experience of the nanographic presses, the new money will accelerate the completion of the development phase, will enable production to be ramped up and will pave the way to build manufacturing units for the nano ink colorants.

Peu à peu, Landa Corporation a réussi à fédérer de nombreux acteurs de l'industrie autour de son projet de presse d'impression nanographique. Après Komori, en charge de la partie mécanique des presses feuille, EFI pour le frontal numérique, c'est maintenant au tour d'Altanta de participer au projet imaginé par l’israélien Benny Landa

- Altanan investment is a sign of confidence missiollemme. Altana brings with it a wealth of important industry and marketing experience as well as knowledge of global production, says Landa Corporation President and CEO Benny Landa (pictured).

The proceeds will be used for completing the development of Nanography, Landa’s water-based digital printing process, including engineering and production ramp-up of Landa Nanographic printing presses and building of manufacturing plants for Landa Nanoink colorants.

„Wir freuen uns, diese strategische Partnerschaft mit Benny Landa einzugehen, der die Digitaldruckindustrie maßgeblich geprägt hat. In Sachen Innovation sprechen wir dieselbe Sprache“, Matthias L. Wolfgruber, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Altana AG.

German chemical company Altana will help fund construction of manufacturing plant, further product development for Benny Landa's Landa Corporation.

Both companies see the agreement not only as a financial investment, but also as a starting point for a long-term strategic partnership to bring digital printing solutions to the commercial, packaging and publishing markets.

This agreement marks the third strategic partnership made to bring Nanotechnology to the global printing market. Komori provides the platform for sheet handling and EFI will develop front-end software. Altana brings the last piece to the puzzle with financing and back end support, global manufacturing ramp-up expertise.

The interview covers the impact of a 100 million Euro investment from chemical group Altana and how it will allow Landa's Nanographic Printing Press and NanoInk to go into full production in the latter half of 2015.
