Contiweb, a specialist manufacturer of web-handling equipment and provider of integrated technical solutions for web offset printing, web inkjet printing and packaging production, is pleased to announce the successful installation of a CDN non-stop unwinder and Digital Fluid Applicator (DFA) remoistener at Lakeside Book Company's Harrisonburg facility in Virginia. The new equipment will be featured in a production line alongside a HP T490 PageWide press installed in June.

The installation of the CDN non-stop unwinder and DFA remoistener marks a significant milestone in Lakeside Book Company's commitment to investing in superior printing solutions for its customers. Lakeside Book Company is the largest book printing, binding, and distribution company in North America and adding this state-of-the-art equipment to its inventory further enhances operational efficiency, while ensuring continuous production, and consistently high-quality output.

Scott Merrick, Engineering Manager, Digital Press at Lakeside Book Company, says: "After multiple decades of working with Contiweb and its technology, this was an easy decision for Lakeside Book. We are confident that this investment will enable us to optimize the value of our new HP press, delivering numerous benefits to our customers and our operations."

Contiweb has a long history of providing Lakeside Book Company with reliable and cutting-edge solutions tailored for heat set web offset applications. Its portfolio of Contiweb splicers, sheeters, and dryers has consistently delivered exceptional performance and superior print quality.

Merrick continues: “We purchased our first CDN splicer from Contiweb back in 2017 for our Kendallville, Indiana facility. That splicer has been exceptionally reliable since the day it was installed as we continued on our journey with Contiweb.”

“We are delighted to have partnered with Lakeside Book Company once again to enhance its production capabilities at the Harrisonburg facility,” says Robert Bosman, Sales Director at Contiweb. “The installation of the CDN non-stop unwinder and DFA remoistener, demonstrates Lakeside Book Company's commitment to delivering high-quality print solutions.
