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.
