DGR Graphic GmbH of Germany has named Print Finishing Sales & Services (PFS&S) of Sarasota, FL as the exclusive North American distributor for its soft cover book binding equipment.

The KM.40 Perfect Binder and the D.08 Three-Knife Trimmer are state of the art automated soft cover book binding systems designed for on demand and short print runs. These compact systems feature fast and tool-less changeover without the need for make-ready parts. The KM.40 is a new design that can also produce hardcover book-blocks with end sheets applied after the milling station as well as lay-flat products.

DGR Graphic GmbH of Espelkamp, Germany was founded in 1997 by Horst Rathert and Gerd Depping, both former designers at Kolbus GmbH where they developed many of the industry's long-established book production equipment.

DGR also manufactures the RHLE.30 complete Bookline with the FE33 building-in machine, the E.30 casing-in machine and the E.01 casing-in machine for small products like diaries.

Volker Petzold, President of PFS&S, has decades of hands-on experience in the print finishing industry in Germany and North America.

DGR selected PFS&S as the sole North American distributor for the soft cover machines, because of Volker’s experience, expertise and reputation in this industry. DGR Graphic welcomes our new partner and wishes Volker and PFS&S continued success.
