Woodridge, IL - Cantho General Printing Joint Stock Company of Cantho City, Vietnam held a grand opening ceremony on the 29th of January to commemorate the installation and start-up of Tensor Group, Inc.'s two tower, one folder newspaper press. Tensor's Vice President, Martina Hozjan Ruda, and Sales Manager, Laura Junge Barvinek, along with 150 publishing community members and local government officials, attended the event at the customer's site in Cantho City. The celebration included traditional Vietnamese song and dance performances, speeches and a demonstration press run followed by a traditional Vietnamese lunch, served al fresco.

The shaft-driven single-wide Tensor T-400BE press with an H-50 folder exponentially increases Cantho General Printing's newspaper production volume. The towers are fed by four splicers, with possible capacity up to 32 pages of 2-color tabloid, with the main jobs running 24 tabloid pages with 8 pages of 4-color and 16 pages of 2-color. Several dailies and weeklies are now printed on the Tensor press.

Cantho General Printing prints a variety of magazines, books and newspapers. The new Tensor press was purchased to add pages and color and to support the higher demand for newspaper subscriptions in Vietnam. It is the first new Tensor press installation in Vietnam.

VINA Printing Equipment Corporation of Ho Chi Minh City, Tensor's Vietnamese agency, will provide local service support to Cantho General Printing.
