It has been reported that Manroland Sheetfed, the beleaguered press manufacturer owned by Langley Holdings plc that underwent restructuring in March 2026 due to a significant downturn in business, is set to close the manufacturing site in Offenbach, Germany, with the loss of almost 700 jobs.
The Offenbach site will close during the summer, but any machines in build now will be completed and delivered on schedule.
“The phase-out of production is intended in particular to ensure that existing delivery commitments can be fulfilled and that the expertise required to manufacture highly specialised parts remains available during a transitional period, until an acquirer is able to integrate production and processes into its own organisation,” said the company in a statement on LinkedIn. “Based on the current situation, the interest of potential acquirers is focused exclusively on the globally positioned service and spare parts business, including the market and service organisation. This business is based on a worldwide installed base of machines and generates continuous demand for service and wear parts over many years. In addition, manroland sheetfed has an established international market and service organisation in numerous countries, which represents immediate value for potential acquirers. Discussions with potential buyers of the spare parts business are ongoing.”
