The existing offset printing line is replaced by a Heidelberg Speedmaster 8C 4/4. Thanks to automatic sheet perfecting and significantly reduced make-ready times, capacity in the 4/4-colour segment can be doubled. Together with a dedicated extension building for the new offset press, approximately €3 million is invested, increasing total production space to 1,800 m². The number of employees rises to 28 in Bexbach plus three additional staff at the subsidiary in Sarreguemines.
As part of the investment in the new offset press, the entire prepress workflow is upgraded to the latest technical standards. The filmsetter (CtF) is replaced by a Heidelberg computer-to-plate (CtP) system using FM screening technology.
Print finishing is expanded with an additional folding machine, a Heidelberg Stahlfolder TH66 4/4/4 round pile feeder.
