  • Perfect press for printshop with a wide range of materials, large print volumes and frequent job changes
  • With state-of-the-art equipment customer can react to future trends and meet growing requirements of the Jordanian market
On the occasion of drupa 2012 in Düsseldorf, Amman-based Central Press invested in Jordan's first Speedmaster XL 106 five-color with coater from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg). The successor of Heidelberg's Speedmaster XL 105 is the latest development in the Peak Performance Class and the most high-tech press in the print media industry. Unveiled at drupa, the Speedmaster XL 106 achieves new dimensions in productivity thanks to extremely straightforward operation and the interplay between preset functions, ink presettings, simultaneous plate changing with AutoPlate XL, and Prinect Inpress Control. All this makes the press another 20 to 30 percent more productive than the Speedmaster XL 105 - exactly what Central Press counts on. In the company's press department, the new press will run alongside a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105, a Speedmaster CD 102 and a Speedmaster CD 74.

Unrivaled productivity in everyday operation with the new Peak Performance Class flagship
"The trip to drupa is a tradition in our family-owned company. I am here with my father, who used to come to drupa with my grandfather before. The purchase of the Speedmaster XL 106 is an important investment in the future of Central Press. We have always attached great importance to the further development of our establishment. Equipped with Heidelberg's state-of-the-art equipment, we are ready to meet the most demanding customer requirements and can easily react to future trends. It is absolutely imperative to provide our customers with end products of highest quality. All our products are being thoroughly inspected, all processes are supervised by the company's integral Quality Control Department which applies the strictest rules and highest standards of quality control in commercial printing," said Yousef Hammad, Marketing Manager at Central Press.

His father Maher Hammad, General Director of Central Press, is convinced that the new Speedmaster XL 106 will achieve new dimensions in terms of productivity. The press fits perfectly in with the company's wide range of materials, large print volumes, and frequent job changes. What's more, the press' high energy and resource efficiency make it the most environmentally friendly press in its class - one of the crucial factors for the investment decision.
About Central Press
The family-owned printing house had been founded in the early 1960s by late Yousef Hammad, who was one of the first paper traders and a leading supplier of paper in Jordan. To meet the rising demand of school books at that time, he took the first step by establishing a small printing house in Amman in 1960. Since then, Central Press has been continuously moving forward. By now, with premises of around 13,000 square meters, Central Press is a leading and acclaimed comprehensive printing house in both Jordan and the region. The company is producing a broad range of products: paperbacks, hard cover books, magazines, calendars, diaries, folders, binders, brochures, flyers and posters.

Due to the company's commitment to delivering high-quality products and catering to the individual and specific needs of every customer with unmatched service, speed and efficiency, Central Press has managed to build long-term professional relationships with its numerous customers - among them Unicef, Xerox, Arab Bank, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the British animal protection charity SPANA and many others.
