Quality And Speed Drive Goss Web Presses Demand
Growing pressure in China for better print quality and faster job turn-around is driving increased demand for the Goss M-600 press in the country, according to the company.
An Ecocool dryer with integrated chill rolls and remoistening for premium print quality will also be supplied.
Installation is scheduled for late summer 2007 in a new facility alongside the company's existing site in Zagreb.
Marin Milkovic, deputy managing director of GZH, commented: "When the decision was made to invest in a web press the top priority was to find the best printing quality in the 16-page press market.
Our first and only choice was the Goss M-600 press because of its excellent reputation and the added benefit of a number of make-ready features.
Our strong relationship with Heidelberg, Goss International's local agent in Croatia, was also a key consideration." He continued: "GZH is the largest sheetfed printing and book binding company in Croatia, with a long history in book production dating back to 1874.
In recent years GZH has invested heavily in modern technology and state-of-the-art equipment in order to remain competitive and at the forefront of the industry.
The purchase of the Goss M600 web offset press is the latest of these investments and a switch from our traditional sheetfed business.
We will now cover the whole spectrum of customer requirements and be able to provide additional flexibility and services to its clients." Ante Zuzul, owner of GZH, added: "The Croatian market is very competitive so it is important to have a clearly defined stance within the market.
We expect our investment in web offset to improve productivity at GZH and, perhaps more importantly, help us to strengthen our position as a flexible and responsive specialist printer within the short-run market." GZH produces a range of premium quality products, from posters, leaflets, notebooks, diaries and calendars to brochures and books.
The press will also increase GZH's capacity to compete with other local printers.
