As People's Daily progresses the move of its equipment to new premises in Beijing, Goss International says it has completed the relocation of a Universal 75.

A smaller Universal 45 press has already been moved by manroland web systems.

Chosen as the original manufacturer of the press, Goss says it project-managed the entire job, which took 12 weeks to complete. Goss engineers also supervised the relocation of the six-tower Universal 75 and worked with People's Daily employees and local teams.

Goss project manager Ben Liang says the economical solution "used Goss' knowledge and engineers to supervise the technical aspects of the move and ensure a smooth transition for the company."

The People's Daily is the leading newspaper in China and is published worldwide with a print circulation of three million. As well as Chinese, editions are published in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Tibetan, Kazakh, Uyghur, Zhuang, Mongolian, and Korean.

The press consists of six towers, two folders and six reel splicers and will continue to be used to produce high-quality newspaper products for the Chinese market. It has also been upgraded with a blanket wash system, and Goss is to provide control system integration.
