Matthews the Printers Ltd Invests in Two new Komori Presses to Run Alcohol Free
Wednesday 09. July 2008 - London based Matthews the Printers Ltd has always offered an unrivalled client service and high quality printed product, but these service and quality levels are set to increase when two new Komori presses, a ten-colour Lithrone S29H Perfector and a five-colour Lithrone S29H, are installed over the summer.Dennis Ott, Chief Executive commented: "The deployment of these new state-of-the art presses will give Matthews around 35-40% extra capacity, increase internal efficiencies and reduce environmental impact. The presses are part of a strategy of developing a robust production platform on which to focus our client offering over the next five years."
The environmental aspects of the presses were a key factor for Matthews when deciding which press to buy: “Komori was one of the only companies that could ensure we could run alcohol-free presses, which is a key feature for our organisation,” commented Chris Riddell, Managing Director. Matthews environmental processes are already of an exceptional standard but the inline ink pumping system that is being installed with the presses will help reduce their waste further.
“Komoris environmental credentials mirror our own and we are looking forward to continuing our working relationship with them over the next few years.” continued Ott.
Komori General Sales Manager (South) Phil Holland added: “I am delighted that Matthews has chosen Komori for this significant investment. We not only manufacture state of the art equipment but are also committed to the environment by utilizing solar and wind power at our manufacturing plant and operating a zero emissions policy. This is a very exciting time for the company and Komori is extremely pleased to continue the successful partnership between our two companies and we wish them every success in the future.”
