Kennesaw, Ga. - As part of an ongoing program to upgrade its equipment lineup, Seidl's Bindery in Houston, Texas has replaced a pair of aging folders with one three-station Stahlfolder TH 82 buckle folder with feeder and stream delivery. Installed in June, the new folder does the work of its two predecessors-and then some, according to company president Bill Seidl. "It was time to upgrade in order to keep our quality high," he said. "The new folder handles a wide range of two- and three-up projects from signatures to complicated brochures. It's fast, productive, and our operators love it. Best of all, we're not having to feed work to our competitors to meet the deliveries of high-volume jobs and keep our customers satisfied."

The new TH 82 folder joins a host of Heidelberg postpress equipment already in operation at Seidel's bindery, including no fewer than three POLAR cutting systems and six additional Stahlfolders. In business for 35 years, Seidl's Bindery serves a regional clientele and employs a staff of 70.

For Bill Seidl, the choice of Heidelberg is a perennial no-brainer: "Heidelberg's word is gold," he said. "I never have to worry that something will get fixed, because I know it will, period. Over and over again, Heidelberg customer service and support proves they're in it for the long haul."
