Soma Engineering (officially Soma spol. s r.o.) is a flexographic printing press and converting equipment manufacturer based in Lanškroun, Czech Republic. The company's key products are flexographic presses, slitter rewinders, laminators, plate mounters, sheeters and die cutters.

History[edit]

The company was established in 1992 by Czech businessman Ladislav Verner.[1] After 20 years, it became one of the leaders in the development and production technology of flexographic printing machines.[2] In 2012, the company opened a new centre of technology, Soma Globe.[3] The company's interest in innovation and development reached a peak in 2013, when flexographic printing machine OPTIMA was launched. One year later, OPTIMA has been honoured by the iF Award in the Product Design Category.[4] The same year, 2014, during the conference Flexo Challenges, a new training centre, Villa Globe was opened.[5]
