Aller Tryk A/S is Scandinavia’s leading magazine printer. The Aller group believes in the future of print and updates its machinery with a 48-page short-grain LITHOMAN.

An almost identical LITHOMAN already produces at Aller Tryk A/S since the beginning of the year 2010. The new autoprint web offset press replaces two competitor lines and is equipped with highest automation features.

Managing Director Jesper Jungersen is convinced: „With the new press and the comprehensive automation we will be able to significantly reduce makeready times and waste rates. This is a main success factor for us to strengthen our business in the printing industry.” The LITHOMAN will be delivered in May 2015.

Besides the Norwegian and Swedish printing plants of the Aller-Group, which have been producing on LITHOMAN presses for several years now, this is the second press for the production site in Taastrup.
