"Now, calling upon our companywide strength of resources, we will be able to provide solutions to the newspaper industry from a multitude of divisions... bringing the world class reputation and expertise we share with the most successful companies on the commercial side of the Graphic Arts industry to the newspaper world."

Muller Martini manufactures, installs and services a wide array of machines for virtually every aspect of print production.  The company's technologies are recognized around the world for innovation, reliability and solid return on investment.  "Mailroom Systems customers can be assured that the same quality the commercial printing and binding industry depends on Muller Martini for will also be inherent to all the equipment and support we provide to mailroom operations," continued Mr. Naegeli.  "We have handled the most complex installations for the largest commercial printers and binderies in the United States. Going forward, under our global slogan, Grow With Us", we are eager to deliver a more well rounded scope of machine capabilities and professional expertise to newspapers, tailoring solutions specific to their businesses and complementing the needs of the mailroom with commercial products from all divisions throughout Muller Martini."
