Faber & Schleicher
Faber & Schleicher was a printing machine company based in Offenbach am Main from 1871 to 1979 . It was founded by Louis Faber (1841–1896) and Adolf Schleicher (1845–1910) as an “association business for the production of high-speed lithographic presses”.
In 1871 the first high- speed lithography press was built, named Albatros . In 1888 the first own foundry was built. The foundry worked with cupolas for its own production of cast-iron machine parts. In 1911, the company built the world's first Roland sheet-fed offset rotary printing press and received a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Turin. After the merger with the printing machine division of Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg, MAN AG, the tradition of manufacturing printing machines was continued from 1979 under the name MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AG.
