Mohn Media is strengthening its insert and catalogue printing business with a new 96 page LITHOMAN S

Mohn Media has ordered its third 96 page LITHOMAN from manroland web systems. The large printing house from Gütersloh is expanding its production capacity and strengthening its position as a leading European web printer with this high performance commercial printing machine. It will be the tenth 96 page LITHOMAN in the market.

The performance strength of the 96 page LITHOMAN S in the insert business has proved ideal for Mohn Media. Roland Witte, manager of production and technology at Mohn Media explains: "The technology of the 96 page LITHOMAN S with its productivity and high level of production variability, fits exactly into our business model for high volume runs of brochures and advertising inserts. We can now fulfil our customer's requirements in this demanding market segment, even better".
Two become one

At the end of 2016, the new 96 page LITHOMAN will be installed in Gütersloh where today two older LITHOMAN 32 page rotary presses are doing their work. Therefore we will soon have three rotaries with 2.86m web width from manroland web systems producing at Mohn Media. The third 96 page system is, just like its two sister machines, completely equipped with the fully integrated Inline Control Systems from manroland web systems. This comprehensive and continuous automation of the printing process guarantees lowest level of waste and constant continuous printing quality thanks to the fan-out register, ink register, cut-off register and ink density control.

High format and page flexibility

The 96 page LITHOMAN at Mohn Media is not only the top of the range when it comes to high volume commercial printing. It will be implemented in a multitude of varied productions on account of its configuration and high format and page flexibility. Because the 96 page LITHOMAN is equipped with both a short grain and long grain folder. This allows for a multitude of design formats to be produced in an ideal fashion, especially important in the brochure and advertising insert sector.
Well-rehearsed project teams

During the previous installation of a LITHOMAN S 96 page press in Spring 2014, Mohn Media were already full of praise for the high level of professionalism and cooperation demonstrated by the project teams from Mohn Media and manroland web systems. And this time the teams will once again carry out the installation of the printing system meticulously and consequently. Josef Aumiller, regional sales head at manroland web systems, appreciates the partnership with Mohn Media as very special: "Both of our companies have put a lot of effort into this exceptionally long and innovation driven partnership. Mohn Media continually places its trust in our newest technology. This win-win situation encourages our development activities and contributes enormously to the success of our customer Mohn Media."
