Xeikon hosted the first of two planned virtual press briefings on March 30, revealing the latest additions to its lineup of dry toner based digital presses for the graphic arts and label and packaging segments. The online broadcast featured the reveal of two new digital presses - one for graphic arts and the other directed toward labels - while also announcing the launch of Sirius, the latest development in Xeikon's dry toner technology. While the new products were the highlight of the event, given the circumstances surrounding COVID-19, Xeikon CEO Benoit Chatelard opened the presentation with an update on how the company is handling the situation. The health and safety of Xeikon employees is the company's No. 1 priority, he said, and stated that about 60% of die company's employees are able to work from home. Additionally, he explained that maintenance operations were still running at the time of the broadcast, but preventative maintenance activities had been stopped while emergency maintenance situations were given priority. And, whenever possible, help is being provided remotely so new people are not being introduced into a customer's facility.
