At METPACK 2026 (May 5–8, Essen, Hall 3, Stand 3B39), Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint will present a fully integrated lineup spanning printing, coating, and curing technologies—underscoring its role as a true one-stop system supplier for metal packaging. The spotlight will be on the world premiere of the MetalCoat 484, featuring automatic washing and closed-loop coating thickness control designed to reduce setup times and significantly improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). “METPACK is a family gathering for us,” said CEO Ralf Hipp, highlighting the company’s focus on innovation and close customer collaboration.
Beyond coating, the portfolio includes the high-performance MetalStar 4, the rugged Mailänder press, and the MetJET digital series for short-run flexibility. In curing, Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint addresses sustainability goals with gas-saving HighEcon systems, UV and UV-LED technology, and hydrogen-ready ovens for future carbon-neutral production. The event also marks the 150th anniversary of J.G. Mailänder, celebrating a legacy that continues to shape today’s advanced offset and digital metal decorating solutions.
