Positive comments from manroland Greater China Senior Management on the new manroland
May 29, 2008 (Hong Kong) --People in the news:
Marco Faulhaber, Managing Director, manroland Greater China
Since two years we are now independent. The new dynamics in our company have since been truly breathtaking. I am very excited that we are now able to show this independence together with all these dynamics to our customers, partners and friends through our new company name, logo and appearance.
In many ways we have lived our new corporate values already:
Few will disagree that we have long been a groundbreaking and reliable press manufacturer. With our printvalue products printservices, printcom, printnet and printadvice we have added the ingredients to be more than just a supplier but truly an all-round “High Performance Business Partner”.
I am certain that our determination to perform up to that standard and our enthusiasm to inspire makes partnering with manroland a fruitful and positive experience.
Steffen Dittmann, General Manager, Webfed
The new brand is a landmark change to complement the evolution of the new manroland following our independence in early 2006. Now is the perfect time to launch the new image after two years of gearing up. With a purposeful color scheme, the new brand is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. At first glance one may not see many changes, but with another detailed look, one may notice a very fresh image, which fully communicates our vision – manroland, the high-performance business partner; and our brand values - Reliable, Groundbreaking, Determined and Inspirational. Our core values are not for decoration because we will let our customers actually experience them. We look forward to being a close and trusted partner with our customers at all time especially with our extraordinary service approach.
manroland Greater China will continue to break new ground as the Greater China region is one of the most important development regions for manroland AG. We are already the market leader in newspaper presses and recently we have also gained considerable success in the commercial web segment, especially with the 16-page ROTOMAN series. We expect strong growth to continue in this segment. But we are not simply selling printing machines. Our ultimate goal is to fully satisfy our customers and exceed their expectations. All in all, the people of manroland will stay the same, but what is different is our spirit. We hope to share this positive momentum with our customers who can eventually experience the new manroland. I expect manroland will grow stronger everyday riding on the success of our new brand.
Eric Wong, General Manager, Sheetfed
The new manroland brand marks the dawning of a new era for the development of our company. It will further strengthen our corporate culture in order to fulfill our brand core: manroland, the high-performance business partner. All the staff at ma-nroland Greater China will strive to uphold and demonstrate our new brand values - Reliable, Groundbreaking, Determined and Inspirational. They are the essentials for us to advance ourselves and to provide our customers with excellent consulting services.
To differentiate ourselves from our competitors and enhance our success, it is not enough to merely satisfy our customers. We need to go beyond their expectations and offer them brand new experiences. Although we have a new spelling of our English name, manroland, our Chinese corporate name remains the same – an in-dication that we will continue to rely on our strong brand and preserve all the good experiences our customers have had with us for so many years. We will continue our strong commitment to high standards that sustain and advance excellence in our services with a clear focus on our new core values.
