NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 28, 2009) - Taglich Brothers, Inc. announces it initiated coverage of Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (NYSE: BLD).

Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (NYSE: BLD), headquartered in Shelton, CT, supplies the printing and publishing industry -- OEMs as well as printers and publishers -- with process automation equipment aimed at enhancing cost effectiveness, product quality and productivity.

During the past five years, sales of cleaning systems have accounted for roughly half of revenue and have grown at roughly 10% a year, as have sales of fluid management systems, which have accounted for around 20% of revenue during the period.

Other process automation equipment now accounts for almost a third of revenue.
