Print Finishing Partners
After 35 years with Kolbus, Volker Petzold founded Print Finishing Partners (PFP) in 2005. Since then, PFP has successfully serviced the print finishing industry. After over 50 years in the industry, Volker appointed Mike Petzold as the new president and business owner of PFP. Volker retired in 2021, leaving behind a stellar reputation.
Mike began his career in 1995 with an apprenticeship at Kolbus, becoming a worldwide service technician. In 2005, he moved to the US and joined Muller Martini, where he worked as a service engineer in the softcover field. By 2008, Mike had become MM’s Perfect Binder Specialist. He joined PFP in 2010 as the VP of Technical Sales and Services.
At PFP, our team consists of former Kolbus and MM employees, serving the print finishing industry across several business fields:
- PFP: Service and Sales, specializing in Kolbus and Muller Martini equipment.
- WST: Quality Control Systems and Signature Recognition Systems (formerly Opti Control/Optigraf).
- DGR: ShortRun & SingleCopy equipment for producing hard and softcover products.
- Hang: Paper drills and riveting machines.

We understand the growing importance of servicing your equipment and offer a variety of capabilities for print finishing equipment. We can also help you find late models, rebuilds, or as-is equipment for your finishing department and assist in selling your surplus equipment. Our factory-trained technicians, with many years of experience specializing in Kolbus and Muller Martini equipment, provide excellent service.
Our experience and commitment enable us to support you with various needs beyond regular service, such as improving product quality, adapting to market changes, preventive maintenance plans, and inspection services with detailed checklists.
