The open house will feature Bindwel's SigLoch range of post-print kits, designed for digital print. The solutions for micro, and short-run bookbinding will also be there. Additionally, visitors will witness demonstrations of the new versions of Bindwel's flagship bookbinding machines, gatherers, and three-knife trimmers. Customers will not only see the products in action but also get a glimpse into the design and manufacturing processes that bring these innovations to life. Recently the highest selling medium speed binder in the world BW@2500 had a new launch of its version - V24 which provides a number of features that help the print buyers improve their quality at reduced costs.

Anil Kumar, the national sales lead for Bindwel said, "Since its launch BW@2500 V24, in April 2024, we have crossed the mark of 60 installations." This model with the detailing of each of these benefits will be a star attraction at the open house.

Speaking to PrintWeek, Sajith Pallippuram, managing director of Bindwel-Stelda said, "This open house will show the elements of our development post-Drupa 2024 and pre-Printpack 2025. This will give us an assessment of the path of developments that we have picked, specifically in digital post-press and short-run book production, as we will get to show them to real-time users and take their feedback."

The event will feature Kai Buentemeyer, Ex-CEO of Kolbus and a distinguished member of Bindwel's board of directors. Buentemeyer who was present during the open house in 2023 as well said, “I am excited to be back in India. I was present at the Bindwel stand in Drupa all through the show, and I hope to be present during PrintPack 2025."  Buentemeyer said, "Here we will discuss the progress that is being made in the direction that we have decided to follow. I am looking forward to meeting customers and exchanging notes with them."

As a board member of the Bindwel-Stelda group, Buentemeyer will also participate in discussions on the company’s vision for the next three years.

Sajith Pallippuram said, "Bindwel's open house promises to be a significant event for the bookbinding and post-press industry, offering attendees a chance to explore state-of-the-art technology and engage with experts driving the industry's future."
