Privately-owned French printer Groupe Maury has commissioned its tenth Goss Sunday heatset press.

The four-units-plus-four-units Sunday 3000 duplex is printing a variety of promotional products for major retailers at the plant in Manchecourt.

PFF-3 and PCF-3 folders and Rima rotary trimmers enable formats which differentiate their customers and attract maximum attention: "The press offers high speeds and has the capability to fold paper to produce up to 60 different products, making it possible for us to offer a very wide portfolio to our customers," says chief executive and owner Jean-Paul Maury.

Familiarity with the Goss Sunday and compatibility are among benefits. The new press has a top speed of 90,000 impressions per hour, and a web width of 1830mm - a new width for the company and the first of its type in Europe. Gapless blanket sleeves and quick plate change ensure fast job changeovers, while pinless folders reduce paper waste.

"We print runs between four and 12 million copies on this press which is a significant improvement over what we were able to do before," Maury says. "With its speed - it's the most productive 64/72 page web offset press in France and even in Europe - and reliability, we aim to print 40 thousand tons of paper each year with this press."

Maury's Manchecourt site prints weekly and monthly promotional circulars as well as catalogues and directories for leading French supermarkets, building supplies chains and other national retailers.
