Company KONINKLIJKE WĂ–HRMANN, a large Dutch book printer, making part out of the French CPI group, recently installed a new SPS® printing line with SPS® VITESSA XP1 cylinder press, TURBOSTAR UV dryer, and AUTOSTACK. The company’s chief of production, Mr. Jan Boers, said that, after looking at competitive brands, they preferred the SPS® equipment because it stood out both in ease of operation as well as in average production speed. “When you run orders up to 30.000 sheets, running speed really becomes an issue. The SPS® machine was at least 35% faster than its nearest competitor.  Also the competence in guiding us through this new printing process in our house was outstanding.” The equipment was installed early November 2009 - and after a printing course of 1 week, Wöhrmann is using the printing line to its full capacity.

For SPS® TechnoScreen this was one of the first orders being 100% manufactured in the  new production facility in PiĹ‚a (Poland). Meanwhile, some 12 lines have left the new factory to customers in Germany, Holland, Brazil, Mexico, China, United Kingdom, Taiwan, and the Middle East.
