“We are very pleased to take part in trade fairs in person again and meet customers ‘live’,” said Managing Director Franz Neuhofer, who was on site in Hanover with his sales and product development team.
FN Neuhofer presented the FN Acustico, its functional acoustic panels in various designs, as well as the new, screwless fastening system “FN Clipholder CH25”.
This clip is a true innovation – without tools or drilling, it quickly and easily clamps into the expansion joint between the floor and the wall. The skirting board is held in place by the compressive force of the floor.

Another highlight was the presentation of the incredible potential of the state-of-the-art digital printing system for panels that has already been installed and activated at the Zell am Moos site. With this system, FN Neuhofer can produce panels made of MDF, metal (e.g. Alcan-Dibond/alu-composite), rigid foam (e.g. Forex, Sintra), soft foam (e.g. Kapa), three-layer panels made of spruce, pressboard panels as well as folding carton/corrugated cardboard, and glass.
It is able to print FN Acustico panels up to a width of 250 cm in the highest resolution. The potential applications are wide-ranging and the system perfectly complements the FN standard range.

The enthusiasm of the many international visitors at the FN Neuhofer booth was very high, making the trade fair an incredible start to the new business year.

FN Neuhofer invests in a new, ultra-modern digital printing system

FN Neuhofer, the innovative supplier of accessories for floors, walls and ceilings, has installed its third printing system on site – a state-of-the-art, digital surface printing machine for panels.

“A high-tech system like this complements our existing digital printing competence centre in many ways,” says owner and CEO Franz Neuhofer. With this system, FN Neuhofer can now also print on panels made from MDF, metal (e.g. Alcan-Dibond/alu-composite), plastic hard foam (e.g. Forex, Sintra), soft foam (e.g. Kapa), three-layer spruce, pressboard as well as folding cardboard/corrugated cardboard and glass up to a width of 250 cm.

Customisation as a USP
This means that the innovative family company can not only custom print its recently launched
“FN Acustico” acoustic panels, but also profile boards, floorboards, wall coverings and kitchen splashbacks.
“This gives us another USP for our customers and partners when it comes to creativity, problem-solving and trends.”

Technologically ahead of the game
The system has 120 individual print heads and achieves an impressive resolution of 1000 dpi.
This means that there are hardly any limits to the imagination when it comes to choosing a picture and design.
The system can apply any photo or logo to the base. In addition to its own products, FN Neuhofer
can also produce, for example, POS materials for the shelves in hardware stores.

The digital printing line for plates was already commissioned in December 2022.

 UV flatbed printing with 120 individual print heads
 Single and multi-web printing possible
 Max. print width 250 cm
 Resolution: 1,000 dpi
 Annual capacity: 3.3 million m²
