“MAN Roland Compact” has been relaunched as “manroland Messenger”, the new industry newspaper from manroland, the world’s second largest printing systems manufacturer and global market leader in web offset.

The newspaper redesign that incorporates the completely new look of the manroland brand (responsible: Springer & Jacoby) was created in cooperation with KircherBurkhardt, the Berlin media agency who also developed the current issue that deals with newspaper design.

Messenger is a newspaper for and about the newspaper industry and appears twice a year. Besides the information it contains, it also demonstrates the latest trends in the newspaper market: every issue appears in a different format, is printed by different newspaper companies, and features special advertising forms or materials such as special papers or colors. “For us as a media agency, having the opportunity to make a newspaper for the newspaper industry is an absolute hit”, confirms Lukas Kircher, Managing Partner of KircherBurkhardt.
