Once again, the Durst Group was heralding its very own ‘Advantage through Technology’ (the German translation of this Vorsprung durch Technik was the catch-cry used for years by Audi) at the recent Fespa Global Print Expo in Barcelona, receiving four prestigious European Digital Printing Association (EDP) Awards for its Durst P5 technology (used in CORE and SMP), Durst Entera LED Inks and Open Software Initiative.
Christoph Gamper, Durst Group CEO and owner, says: “Whilst awards are not the reason we do this work, they are still a strong signal that years of engineering discipline, customer focus and conviction about where this industry is heading, are beginning to compound.”
“The Industry Achievement Award for the Open Software Initiative means a lot to me personally. OSI was a long journey: from a world of near-total vendor dependency toward an open software ecosystem where machines, workflows, and software can connect intelligently. That foundation became one of the building blocks for what is now evolving into Kyveris.”
Kyveris is Durst’s new AI-powered production intelligence platform that unifies machines, software, data, and processes into a single, autonomous system for digital printing and additive manufacturing. Kyveris represents the next evolutionary step for Durst, transitioning the company from a focus on precision hardware to intelligent, data-driven production systems. It integrates files, machinery, software, and operational data into a continuously learning system that optimises performance, reduces waste, and enhances efficiency at scale. The platform leverages decades of engineering knowledge and insights from thousands of global installations to predict and prevent quality issues, ensuring reproducible and transparent production.
In addition to the Industry Achievement Award, Durst also received EDP Awards for:
- its Durst P5 350 CORE, recognised as the Best Flatbed and Hybrid system operating at 150 to 400 square metres per hour;
- the Durst P5 SMP, named the Best Multipass Corrugated platform; and
- Durst Entera LED Inks, which were recognised as the Best UV Ink System, highlighting Durst’s continued commitment to more sustainable production methods.
Gamper adds: “Our commitment to graphics is unbroken. We believe deeply in this market and in the customers who built it with us over decades, and we are far from done. At the same time, the Kyveris Sandbox in Barcelona shows where the next chapter is heading: not away from machines, but beyond machines alone, towards production systems that learn, adapt, connect, and continuously improve.”
