Quebecor World has ordered three manroland heatset presses for catalogue production in the USA and Canada. President and chief executive Jacques Mallette says the investment in three Lithoman S presses is “another clear demonstration of our commitment to provide our customers with the most flexible and efficient platform available in the retail market today”. First of the new presses is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2009. A world leader in advertising print production Quebecor has about 23,000 employees in 100 print and related facilities in the USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico and Peru. Webfed sales vice president at manroland Peter Kuisle has welcomed the order: “We can’t overstate the importance of recognising outstanding relationships such as that we have with Quebecor World. “We are, of course, very pleased with their continued confidence in manroland and with the many projects we have shared over the past few years.” The Lithoman series is designed for demanding applications from high volume or short-run, in book, publications or commercial printing, and embrace the company’s latest technology.
