Core offering

Multigraf AG manufactures and sells modular print finishing equipment — including creasing, perforating, folding, cutting, and slitting machines — to commercial print shops, bookbinderies, and OEM partners. The portfolio spans the Touchline modular series, the Eurofold folding machine line, and complementary OEM components such as sheet feeders, pile stackers, stream deliveries, and banding machines, distributed globally through authorized distributors and Duplo entities.

Product overview

Multigraf is a Swiss-based manufacturer of print finishing solutions with over 40 years of experience. The company operates under the Duplo Seiko family following its 2024 acquisition. Multigraf's product portfolio consists of two main modular systems: the Touchline series (creasing, perforating, cutting, slitting, and folding machines including CF375, CPC375 XPRO, CP375 MONO, CP375 DUO, and C375 PLUS) and the Eurofold series (parallel and cross-folding machines including 235SM, 435SM, 235KM, and 435KM). These systems share a common modular design philosophy, allowing users to combine finishing capabilities without investing in multiple standalone machines. Supporting the core finishing equipment is a range of OEM components including sheet feeders (PFA, TL375, TL460), sheet stacking systems (PST), stream deliveries (A-25, ASD-52), and banding machines (WK02-30/WK02-30B). The Touchline and Eurofold products can be expanded with various modules and accessories to create customized finishing lines that grow with production needs.
