Heidelberg demonstrates new opportunities for newspaper
production at IfraExpo in Leipzig
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be
exhibiting its entire spectrum of solutions for efficient,
state-of-the-art newspaper production in Hall 2, booth 2 I, 170, at
this year's IfraExpo in Leipzig (October 13-16, 2003). The
Mainstream, a newspaper rotary press in 1x4 format with gapless
blankets launched on the market by Heidelberg in 2000, has now
firmly established itself in the newspaper industry. Since its
launch, a whole range of detailed solutions have been integrated
into the press, giving customers the opportunity for
made-to-measure production.
In order to provide its customers with future-focused
solutions, Heidelberg took over IdabWamac, the mailroom products
company, last year. Heidelberg is now in a position to offer
complete solutions for newspaper publishers and printshops ranging
from the splicer right through to the finished end product. As
early as the planning phase, the systems can be fine-tuned to the
customer's specific requirements. IdabWamac will be exhibiting
its products directly next to the Heidelberg booth in Hall 2, booth
2 I, 270.
Process optimization ensures users profit during day-to-day
operation. These customized concepts help the newspaper publisher
sharpen his competitive edge and meet the changed demands of
advertising customers and readers. "The Mainstream
demonstrates our ability to develop a market concept that can react
extremely flexibly to our customers' different requirements in
1x4 format", explains Werner Albrecht, head of newspaper
business and web offset printing at Heidelberg.
Heidelberg will be showcasing these diverse newspaper
production applications at this year's IfraExpo.
Heidelberg's successful startup and production phases in the
UK, France and North America will also be documented.
