Landa Digital Printing Seeks Court Protection Amid Debt

Landa Digital Printing, the Israeli company known for pioneering Nanography technology, has filed for a Title 10 reorganization plan in Israel, seeking court protection to allow time for negotiations with strategic partners or investors.

The company, founded by Benny Landa and introduced with great anticipation at drupa 2012, has faced a prolonged and expensive development process to bring its printing technology to market. While over 51 Landa presses are currently installed in 14 countries, the company has struggled to bridge the gap between concept and execution, requiring years of additional development before commercialization.

The unit price of Landa presses ranges from $3.5 million to $4 million, making the company highly sensitive to fluctuations in capital equipment sales. Although consumable sales have been stable, a broader industry decline in equipment purchases since early 2025, compounded by global economic uncertainty, tariffs, and shipping costs, has impacted its financial position.

Additionally, the ongoing war in Israel has placed further pressure on operations, with more than 25% of the national workforce called to extended reserve duty. As a result, Landa’s operating costs in the first five months of 2025 were nearly four times higher than its average monthly revenue, driving it into a severe cash flow crisis.

The company confirmed that each press currently costs more to build than its selling price, with its business model relying on longer-term revenue from consumables and maintenance rather than equipment sales alone.

In recent weeks, Landa Digital Printing laid off over 100 employees as part of its reorganization process, reducing its workforce from approximately 500 to an expected 250–300 employees, primarily through cuts at headquarters and development teams.

The company is now pursuing parallel negotiations with a strategic partner with technological synergies and with a financial investor, aiming to emerge from reorganization within a few months and continue developing its unique Nanography technology.

The court stay of proceedings is intended to provide the time needed to secure a path forward while continuing to update employees and customers on developments.
