Has there ever been a better time to invest in the world's most technologically advanced press? We don't think so. Here's why.
In more years than we can remember (and that's a lot of years), never has there been such an alignment of factors that make such compelling sense to invest in your next Manroland press, right now. A Perfect Storm, if you will.
1. The U.S. dollar is stronger against the euro than at any time in over a decade. The dollar price you will pay for a new press at today's rate is around 30% less than when the euro peaked in 2008. How long will that last? No-one knows, but for sure not indefinitely, the euro economy is at a different stage of its economic cycle and that won't last for ever.
2. The U.S. economy is picking up. The Fed was the first to tank interest rates and introduce QE and that is finally translating into economic growth. The U.S., like in so many things, is now beginning to lead the world out of recession and for sure, the signs that print is picking up right along with it, are all there.
3. Interest rates are still at historically low levels - despite the Fed's pre-Christmas hike. A sign of things to come? We think so. Money is still relatively cheap though and credit easier than in the dark days of the financial crisis, but we believe that the era of ultra low interest rates in our country is over and that the cost of money will only increase further. Credit could also tighten if the economy begins to over-heat, so secure that loan today before Uncle Sam hikes the cost of it again!
4. Press prices have hardly increased in euro terms since the financial crisis - yet. Demand for presses dropped off a cliff then and the big three German press builders were left struggling with over capacity. We all know what happens when supply exceeds demand and sure enough, prices have fallen in real terms. That can't last for ever either. With wage increases in Germany (the so-called Tariff rate which all three builders are locked into) rising at over 3% per year over several years now and the other press builders finally aligning supply with demand, the price of a new press is only set to go one way. Up! Get a quote now and we'll stand by it for an order placed until 31 March.
5. Finally, Manroland's latest flagship of innovation, the ROLAND 700 Evolution, is tried and tested in the field. It's been well over a year since the latest incarnation of our legendary press was launched and any bugs (of which there were actually very few) are now well and truly ironed out.
So, that's why we think the time to invest in your next ROLAND is right now. Contact us today and arrange a visit to specify your investment in the world's most technologically advanced press.
Wishing you a prosperous 2016.
