history

The company emerged from VOMAG and its predecessors. Printing machines were built there from 1896.

After the Second World War , the company was spun off as "Plamag". In 1947 the first printing press was built after the war. A development and research department started operations in 1959. With the introduction of the Hyperset series , Plamag made the transition from letterpress to offset processes in 1967 . From 1970 the company was part of the Kombinat Polygraph Werner Lamberz .

In July 1990, Plamag was taken over by MAN Roland Druckmaschinen and traded under the name of MAN Plamag Druckmaschinen AG . After the change of ownership of the main company and the renaming to manroland , the name "Plamag" disappeared from the company name. In November 2011, the parent company filed for bankruptcy. In January 2012, more than half of the approximately 700 employees were laid off.

In February 2012, the plant was spun off as an independent company and operates again under the old name Plamag Plauen. Negotiations were made with various potential investors about the sale of the plant, which initially acts as a supplier to the Augsburg manroland plant, which was taken over by the Possehl Group. The insolvency administration announced in December 2012 that no buyer had been found for the Plauen plant. In April 2013, the sale of factory premises and systems to a medium-sized Bavarian company was reported. At that time it was called IBS Plamag Maschinenbau GmbH (IBS).

Since January 1, 2017, the company has been part of KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH as Plamag GmbH . Components for electrical injection molding machines have been manufactured here since 2013 and the spare parts business has been managed.
