Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has received its
largest ever single order in Switzerland for the supply of 33
printing and coating units. This exceptional order has been placed
by Multicolor Print AG in Baar and Calendaria AG in Immensee, both
of which are part of LZ Medien Holding AG (
www.lzmedien.ch). The total
investment volume amounts to eight figures.
drupa 2008 innovations for Multicolor Print AG and Calendaria
AG
In the coming year, Heidelberg will install a Speedmaster XL
105-10-P+L and a Speedmaster XL 105-6-P+L sheetfed offset press at
Multicolor. Heidelberg first unveiled the innovative perfecting
technology of this press series during drupa 2008. In a move
designed to complement its digital print activities, Multicolor has
also invested in a Speedmaster SM 52-6+L Anicolor. This is the
first six-color press of its type, complete with coating unit and
short inking unit, to be installed in Switzerland.
The three sheetfed offset presses for Multicolor Print AG are
also part of a comprehensive integration project.
Prinect Prepress Manager, Prinect Pressroom Manager and
Prinect Postpress Manager enable every single stage of production
to be integrated into a single print-shop workflow. What's more,
the Prinect system will also be linked to an existing MIS. This
will make Multicolor Print AG one of the most technologically
advanced printshops in Switzerland.
A Speedmaster XL 75-5+L and a Speedmaster SM 74-2 will
already go into operation at Calendaria AG next year in spring.
"This major order won by the Swiss sales organization
underlines the leading position that Heidelberg enjoys in the
industry and demonstrates that customers can still gain an edge on
the competition in economically turbulent times by using
cutting-edge technologies," explains Dr. Walther Stählin,
Head of EMEA at Heidelberg.
