In just six months, manroland Goss, a leading supplier of web offset printing solutions, has successfully completed the complex relocation of a Colorman newspaper printing press from Crailsheim to Ulm. The challenge: to dismantle and transport a complete printing system in record time, putting it back into operation at the new location. Thanks to precise planning, an experienced team and close cooperation with NPG Druckhaus, production of the daily newspapers was able to start on time.
Due to the very ambitious schedule, the relocation of the complete Colorman newspaper printing system required extremely precise planning and implementation. manroland Goss has once again proven its competence as a full-service provider in the areas of project management, logistics, installation and commissioning. The web offset printing press, equipped with three reel splicers, three printing towers and a classic Berliner-format folder superstructure, took over daily newspaper production at the new location in Ulm on time after a smooth production start.
Efficiency through consolidation
The relocation of the printing press to Ulm marks an important step in the consolidation of Neue Pressegesellschaft’s (NPG) production sites. Bundling resources at a central location will not only optimize machine utilization but also increase the efficiency of the entire production chain. Daily newspaper production is thus not only more economical but also more sustainable – a benefit for the company and the environment alike.
Efficient and professional project management
Gaidies, managing director at NPG Druckhaus, is satisfied. “Thanks to our many years of cooperation with manroland Goss, we knew that our ambitious relocation project was in the best hands. Once again the professionalism and competent project support and realization.”
Frank Kreisel, vice-president Sales at manroland Goss, emphasizes,“The trustful cooperation and close coordination between our project partner NPG Druckhaus and us was the guarantee for the success of the project. For us as a printing press manufacturer, projects of this type and scope are among our core competencies. This is where our flexibility as a full-service provider really comes into its own.”
