Printing Trades Machinery & Equipment

Companies classified under SIC 3555 design and build printing trades machinery and equipment such as offset and digital presses, flexo and gravure systems, bindery lines, cutters, folders, and inline finishing and inspection tools that keep commercial printers, packaging converters, label producers, publishers, and corporate mail centers running at scale. Buyers value high uptime, color consistency, and integration with prepress and MIS/ERP workflows, while vendors face cyclical capital spending, volatile component costs, OSHA and environmental compliance for noise, emissions, and waste handling, and rising cybersecurity expectations for connected devices. In 2024-2025, investment is shifting toward inkjet and hybrid presses, automation-heavy finishing, energy-efficient motors, recycled/low-VOC consumables, and cloud analytics that enable predictive maintenance and shorter changeovers. As consolidation accelerates and customers demand faster turnaround with fewer operators, equipment makers that pair reliability with software-driven service models are best positioned.
