Dr. Gandini, owner of Sarnub comments, “We have operated a Goss Community press for a number of years so when looking to expand our capacity and develop our facility we wanted to explore what else Goss had to offer. The Universal 75 press is proven in the market for high quality and unbeatable flexibility and will offer us advanced levels of automation. This will enable our production teams to meet the high demands of our customers while operating with streamlined efficiency.” The new press will be configured as two four-high towers, one two-high tower, a 2:3:3 folder with the added benefit of quarterfold capability, and four reelstands.
