With the replacement of the eight-colour offset press in January—also by a machine from the XL 106 series—the renewal cycle in the press hall is now complete. The two new Speedmaster XL presses complement each other optimally: high-volume brochure printing is produced on the eight-colour press with fully automatic perfecting, while the five-colour press is used for covers with special colours, UV coating finishing, and inline processes such as perforating, die-cutting and creasing. This achieves peak performance in the printing process, particularly in catalogue and magazine production.
By acquiring an adjacent property with two additional halls, the production area expands to 7,200 m². Hall 4 houses a Kolbus KM 610 perfect binding line with 20 stations, capable of producing up to 8,000 brochures per hour.
