Manroland says "crucial challenges still ahead"

[GeorgeA]

Manroland's preliminary figures indicate that the company managed a small profit for 2008. Manroland did as well as could be hoped last year, but thinks 2009 will be very tough.

Indeed it'll be more than tough for manroland this year, especially with the unexpected but severe impact after the ending agrrement between MAN Ferrostaal, which is the exclusive distributor of manroland in quite large rigions as South America, Part of North America, Australia, NZ, SEA, Middle East and most african counties.

This immediate agreement ending means no running business and order break-down for manroland.

Hi!

Just found this thread and so i 'dig-out' once again this thread.

What will this means for manroland that they ended their agreement with MAN Ferrostaal? Also one of them took over some Agencys for Luescher, but which one of them ...MAN Ferrostaal or manroland, it's a bit confusing what MAN is doing.

Does anyone know how big/small is the share inner the MAN Ferrostaal Group? I mean, how many percent large/small is the Business from the Field "EQUIPMENT - Graphic" inside of the MAN Ferrpostaal Group. I remember that i read something about 2.5%...but i cannot find this Articel anymore, was just 2 or 3 mth. ago.

Cheers

Raymond
