Heidelberg to Ship M-600 to Poland

Third Order Placed for the
M-600 Web Offset Press at drupa 2004

Polish print shop Poligrafia S.A. has ordered an M-600 web offset printing press from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) at drupa 2004. Poligrafia was founded in 1991 and is already the third largest web offset print shop in Poland. The company produces magazines, brochures, catalogs and books for the national and international market at its Kielce and Starachowice sites.

The demand for print products in Poland has grown enormously over the past ten years or so, partly due to the launch of new magazines on the market.

This success comes not long after Reproprint in Prague ordered an M-600, intended to produce magazines and advertising supplements, on the very first day of the trade show.

And a third Heidelberg M-600 is also to be shipped to Asia for print shop SNP Leefung Printers in Shenzhen, China. The press configuration features an integrated JF-44 folder, a Contiweb web splicer and an Ecoweb dryer.

These orders are further proof of the tremendous growth potential in the Eastern European and Asian markets.
