Shelton, CT, July 12, 2006 -- Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (AMEX: BLD), a leading global manufacturer of printing press accessories and control equipment, announced today that Baldwin Japan, its Japanese subsidiary, has secured an order valued in excess of $5 million from Nikkei newspaper (Japan Economic Journal) in Japan.

The order is for Baldwin’s high performance SD-H spray dampening systems and IMPACT SW blanket cleaning systems, which will be fitted on the newspaper presses for Nikkei newspaper (Japan Economic Journal). The systems are designed to improve print quality, reduce start-up waste and deliver major savings in water and ink consumption.

President and COO, Karl S. Puehringer, said: “The order from Nikkei newspaper is a great start to our new fiscal year, and it is one of the largest orders in our company’s history. The order continues the long-term relationship Baldwin has had with Nikkei newspaper. We are pleased that a leading name in the Japanese newspaper market such as the Japan Economic Journal will gain the benefits of Baldwin’s technology for its customers.”
