A new Goss M-600 web will take the Ho Chi Minh City printer to a new dimension, boosting output capacity and differentiating it as a pacesetter in the Vietnamese print market.

With installation into a new facility completed on schedule, the new four-unit system with JF-48 folder, Contiweb SH splicer and Goss Ecocool dryer enables Nhan to accept new contracts for magazine printing and grow alongside its commercial customers.

The decision to invest in the M-600 press came with full realisation of the scope of the press and the opportunities it could deliver, says director Ung Tan The.

“You could say it was the difference between just doing more of the same or creating an opportunity to truly develop the company in a new direction,” he says. “Being encouraged by the market potential in Vietnam and making use of the company’s natural strengths, our management decided to invest in a technology that helps us to make a move to the ‘Blue Ocean’.

“Our existing presses are continually busy, week-in, week-out, leaving us very little spare capacity for new business opportunities, so it was clear we needed to expand.”

He says the M-600 has brought the realisation that they could have that quality at much higher speeds, and with greater operational efficiency.”

Advanced features include Autoplate automatic plate changing which allows an operator to change any number of plates in less than two minutes. Motorised functions throughout the press and folders are controlled through a central console, ensuring a highly automated, closed-loop operation for high productivity and low waste.

The praises Goss International’s “substantial experience” in helping sheetfed printers implement a new web operation, as well as the efficient support of its distributor Johs Rieckermann Graphics.

“The Goss technicians have extensive expertise in guiding you through any potential pitfalls and ensuring a very quick implementation of the new technology. That’s why, with total confidence, we can kick off the new year by inviting all our customers to come see what we can now do,” he says.
