In the last seven years alone, manroland Goss has commissioned eight new presses for printing giant Quad. More than 100 manroland Goss presses worldwide produce for Quad, one of North America’s largest printing companies and a global marketing experience company.
The two newest machines, the LITHOMAN IV presses, are in operation at Quad’s Hartford, Wisconsin, United States location. The customer and manufacturer are working together to achieve a peak run time of 52,500rph on the recently installed LITHOMAN IV, a new record speed for manroland Goss commercial web presses.
Quad has been producing marketing and commercial printing jobs worldwide on manroland Goss equipment for decades. All of its traditional web offset presses, more than 100 worldwide, are manroland Goss.
The two new additions at Quad are both LITHOMAN IV commercial web offset presses with a web width of 2060 mm. As standard, the press runs at a top speed of 50,000rph, which translates to 100,000 copies per hour. But that is not all. The customer and the press manufacturer are working hand in hand on the next challenge to exceed the current top-rated speed and achieve 52,500rph. In doing so, the long-standing partners are aiming to set a new speed record for the press model to increase productivity even further.
During a visit by Quad management representatives in Augsburg, Franz Kriechbaum, CEO of manroland Goss, presented a high-quality 3D visualisation of the two new LITHOMAN IV models to Dave Honan, EVP and COO at Quad, and other Quad manufacturing executives. He emphasised the valuable cooperation and the strong relationship of trust between the two companies that has grown over the years; a success story that Quad and manroland Goss intend to continue in the future.
