One of the largest magazine and catalogue printers in North America has ordered two new gapless web presses and three finishing systems from Goss International.
This investment will enable us to offer a different range of products to our customers than has previously been possible." Vic Services is part of the Revue Fiduciaire publishing group, which specialises in fiscal, welfare, accounting and legal information.
Print jobs for the group accounted, on average, for 70 per cent of Vc Services' production turnover of EUR4 million in 2006.
The remainder of production is dedicated to advertising and commercial jobs for a diverse range of external customers.
Leteve explained: "We have been operating with an older web offset press and two sheetfed presses since 1981 without the benefits the modern features that are now standard in many press rooms.
The Autoplate technology will speed up our make-readies and provide a more efficient and accurate process for plate loading, whilst the new JF-45 folder provides us with the facility to print a more diverse range of products." And he added: "We do not feel that we are taking a risk with the Goss M-600 press.
It's a proven product and one we trust.
It's an exciting time for us and for our employees who will have to adapt to a new way of working but, in our opinion, we have provided them with the optimum production tool." A two-week training programme will be held at the print facility enabling operators to spend time learning about the new press performance and technology.
Antoine Chevalier, head of service management at Goss International in Montataire (France) where the M-600 press model is manufactured, said: "A project such as this requires the total coordination between Goss installation crews, the printer, its partners and sub-contractors.
We have worked in close partnership with Vic Services to ensure that this project is executed on schedule.
The features of the M-600 press will equip the company with one of the most advanced commercial print rooms in the area and will enable it to serve a range of new and diverse customer needs.".
