Item 1.01         Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement
                  ------------------------------------------

     On August 17, 2005, Baldwin Technology Company, Inc. (the "Company")
entered into a new employment agreement with Karl S. Puehringer, replacing an
earlier agreement effective November 1, 2001 and subsequent amendments thereto.
Mr. Puehringer was elected President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company,
effective July 1, 2005. He reports to Gerald A. Nathe, the Company's Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Puehringer's employment agreement is effective
as of July 1, 2005 for a term expiring November 1, 2009. It contains a provision
for automatic extensions for additional three (3) year periods unless earlier
terminated.

     Under the agreement, Mr. Puehringer's base salary is initially set at
(euro) 228,800, subject to annual adjustment. Mr. Puehringer's agreement also
provides for annual incentive compensation in an amount determined under the
Company's Management Incentive Compensation Plan and for certain supplemental
retirement benefits to Mr. Puehringer following retirement from service with the
Company. In the event of a termination of employment, certain amounts will be
payable to Mr. Puehringer, such amounts to depend upon whether the termination
was by the Company or by Mr. Puehringer, whether the termination was with or
without cause or with or without Company consent, and whether the termination
was due to death or disability. The agreement also provides that, for a period
of three years after the termination of his employment, Mr. Puehringer will not
compete, directly or indirectly, with the Company. A copy of the agreement
between the Company and Mr. Puehringer is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is
hereby incorporated by reference.

     On August 17, 2005, the Company amended its employment agreement with Mr.
Nathe, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the terms
of the amendment, Mr. Nathe's positions with the Company remain Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. The term of the agreement, as amended, has been
extended until November 15, 2007. Under the agreement, as amended, Mr. Nathe's
base salary will remain unchanged. The amended agreement also provides for the
payment of annual deferred compensation to Mr. Nathe in the amount of $115,000
following the termination of his employment with the Company.

     Except as otherwise provided in the amendment, the terms of Mr. Nathe's
existing employment agreement with the Company remain in full force and effect.
A copy of the August 17, 2005 amendment between the Company and Mr. Nathe is
filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
