Israel’s Landa Digital Printing, which revolutionised the printing process with its Nanography technology, has filed for court protection from insolvency proceedings brought by lenders in the last week of June 2025. On 30 June, the court granted the Rehovot-based company two weeks to freeze proceedings.
Founded by visionary and inventor Benny Landa who owns 36.7% of the company’s shares, Landa Digital Printing has cited global economic challenges, the war in Israel, rising international shipping costs, and delay in customer payments as the main reasons for the current debacle. Other major shareholders include German companies ALTANA AG and SKion GmbH, and Sweden’s Winder Pte. Ltd.
Several digital press manufacturers have shown interest in acquiring Landa, with HP making the strongest bid. Others include Canon, Epson, Fujifilm, and Xerox. Benny Landa founded Indigo in 1977, developing the world’s first digital printing press, which was acquired by HP in 2002.
CTech, the technology news site of Israel’s financial daily Calcalist, has reported that Landa’s debt is in tune of approximately $516 million. The company had a severe financial setback, losing $312 million in 2022-2023. In 2022, Landa posted $35 million in revenue against a loss of $148 million. Though 2023 saw a $47 million revenue uptick, the company’s loss slid further to $164 million. The increase in loss stemmed mainly from some of the shareholders’ interest payment on loans, which later became equity.
Landa Digital Printing was founded by Benny Landa in 2011. The company developed the Nanography technology, a revolutionary nanotechnology-based printing process that saves print providers and packaging converters from the barriers of traditional digital and analogue printing technologies. The company also supplies game-changing Nanographic Printing presses worldwide.
