Brown Printing will install the 20,000-copies-per-hour binder with 24 hopper positions and full in-line ink jetting and mailing auxiliaries at its facility in Waseca, Minnesota this spring.

“The new Goss binder will further expand the state-of-the-art print finishing capabilities – including advanced targeting, product personalization and co-mailing – that we deliver for catalog and publication customers,” explains Pat Bayer, Engineering & IT director at Brown. “We have a strong record of productivity and efficiency with Goss Pacesetter and Universalbinder systems and recognize the advantages this technology provides for us and for our customers.”

Goss International will equip the new Universalbinder system with an HT20 trimmer, BS60 stacker and overhead gripper conveyors.  Brown Printing will also add new Gosstrimmers to existing Universalbinder lines at the facility to accommodate thicker products.
