◐ Partly true
“Royal De Vries closes after 152 years with commercial print assets headed to sale”
Copied
Royal De Vries did close after 152 years, and Allaoui acquired all corporate assets which are now being offered for sale — both elements of the claim hold. The material qualification: the assets are folding-carton packaging equipment (BOBST EXPERTFOLD 110 A2, BOBST VISIONCUT 106 LER, die-cutters, folder-gluers), not "commercial print" assets; the source describes De Vries as a packaging printer producing folding cartons. The single KBA Rapida 106 offset press is part of that packaging line, not a separate commercial print operation.
The span it rests on
The folding-carton plant of Dutch packaging printer Royal De Vries has ceased production after 152 years of operation.
