Verein POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V.
POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. is a non-profit association.
History
The association was founded in Leipzig in 1992. By choosing the name POLYGRAPH, the great tradition of Leipzig as a globally respected centre of printing and publishing, graphic arts engineering and a location for research and education was taken into account.
The POLYGRAPH Leipzig e.V. association is the sole proprietor of the Sächsisches Institut für die Druckindustrie GmbH (SID) and PITSID Polygraphische innovative Technik Leipzig GmbH.
Founding and Purpose of the Association
The purpose of the association, as laid down in its statutes, is the promotion of science and research as well as the publication of their results for use in the printing industry and in the field of printing machinery and equipment, the cultivation and further development of traditions and the promotion of education in the printing industry. The results of the association's activities are available to the general public.
The association pursues its purpose by
- Allocating and implementing research projects outside a commercial business operation
- Organising scientific events, in particular seminars, symposiums and congresses

The implementation of the objectives set out in the statutes is mainly achieved through the activities of SID and PITSID.

The range of services also includes methods from the fields of measurement and instrumentation technology as well as future-oriented topics from related fields of technology.
