Planning and service: manroland project team did a fine job
The installation of the new printing towers was not permitted to interrupt or interfere with the companys production – the print products had to appear strictly in accordance with the time schedules. The service engineers from manroland and HGS managed this difficult assignment brilliantly. Michael Beier, Managing Director of manroland Russia, has this to say about the successful undertaking: “We see this project as a fine example of how a printing company can become more competitive even under the present market conditions. The focus here was on flexibility, automation and cost efficiency. We at manroland will continue providing ongoing support for our business partners in Russia and the neighboring markets.”
