Volker Leonhardt · President Global Sales · Müller Martini · Hunkeler Innovationdays 2025

Though Hunkeler Innovationdays only starts tomorrow, Monday, February 24th, INKISH has already intensively covered it. Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to film some of the major OEMs to give you more information and a bit of behind-the-scenes footage from some of the exhibitors. Here, we have Volker Leonhardt from Müller Martini.

There is an impressive booth with three application lines. The first we discuss is a roll-fed saddle stitch line that combines Hunkeler, Stahl, and Müller Martini to make saddle-stitched products at high speed, with variable page count and finished format.

The second and third lines end with a sorting line, so the books made on the Heidelberg Jetfire 50 don’t end up in the same pile as those made on the HP Advantage 2200. From both printing devices, the paper is processed with the Hunkeler Plowfolder solution that folds and stacks the paper into book blocks that are then transported into Müller Martini perfect binders. Both lines combine their output to the trimmer – and voila – a line for web-fed and sheet-fed solutions is presented. Quite nice 🙂
