State-of-the-art six-color offset printing press with coater: Lithrone G29

What drew the most attention to the Komori booth was the highlight of the exhibit -- the cutting-edge six-color Lithrone G29 offset printing press with coater.
Known for its fast job changeovers, exceptional printing precision, and excellent energy efficiency, this machine attracted great interest from across the industry. Live demonstrations at the booth made it one of the most talked-about attractions of the entire exhibition.

He added, "In Colombia, consumption is increasing along with population growth, and the demand for packaging is expanding. The machine we exhibited this time is well suited for package printing and attracted a great deal of interest."

In today's printing industry -- where speed, customization, and sustainability are key -- Komori presses are not only driving technological innovation but also supporting business transformation.

A place where inspiration and innovation are born -- and the future begins

Andigráfica 2025 was more than just a trade show -- it delivered results that went far beyond expectations. The event served as a valuable opportunity to reaffirm the vitality, adaptability, and ongoing technological innovation of the printing industry.

Yoichiro Maeda from Komori's Overseas Sales Department gave a presentation titled "Can offset printing be faster, greener, and smarter at the same time?" at the exhibition conference.

Komori participated in the event together with PPS, and is honored to have shared not only our machines and solutions, but also our corporate philosophy of delivering Kando "beyond expectations".
For PPS as well, Komori's philosophy has become a driving force behind all their activities.

Speaking on the partnership between PPS and Komori, Mr. Troncoso stated: "We've been working with Komori for 25 years. Over the years, our collaboration has deepened, and we've benefited greatly from technical training and other opportunities for skill enhancement. Thanks to this support, PPS has become a stronger presence in the market. Through our long-standing relationship, we've come to know Komori more intimately, and we now see ourselves as part of the Komori family."

Looking ahead, he added: "We hope Komori will continue to grow and expand in the Latin American market so that this region can become a model for the rest of the world. For that to happen, people here need to know more about Komori's machines. We're committed to doing everything we can to support that goal."

Komori and PPS are listening closely to the challenges and needs facing the industry as well as to the voices of our customers and remain committed to creating solutions that bring true value to the graphic design industry in Colombia and across Latin America. We are also striving to contribute to a more innovative and sustainable industry.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many professionals, business leaders, engineers, students, and others interested in the printing field who visited us at Andigráfica 2025. We see this event as a new starting point for future challenges. Through continued dialogue and collaboration, we aim to further enhance quality and technology. We look forward to sharing even more technologies, solutions, and experiences with you at the next event.
