SOMA Engineering | Company history

Present time

SOMA is a dynamically developing company with a rich history, stable production range and its own know-how resulting in long-term success.

Our production range, launched at the beginning of the 90s, is divided into two fields. The first one is targeted to development and production of high quality printing and converting machines, namely flexographic printing presses, slitter rewinders, laminators, mounter proofers, sheeters and die cutters. The other field specialises in production of special purpose machines.

The company is consistently growing having erected new production halls. Innovation and latest design are the key features of our success. The company is attending major exhibitions and building representation in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, USA, Canada and South America resulting in 90% export ratio. SOMA is governed by its basic principle - solid business plan and a team of qualified experts to deal with it.

One of the biggest achievements of SOMA has been incorporating of it’s product range into the selling channel in Eastern Europe, a famous top world manufacturer of offset presses. We are proud of such business partnership providing the top quality of our products.
