Zoo Printing Furnishes New Plant with Heidelberg Postpress Equipment

Tuesday 08. June 2010 - Zoo Printing is a web-to-print, gang-run, trade printing business based in Commerce, Calif. and serving graphic designers, print brokers, print shops and ad agencies nationwide.

The company recently opened a new, 40,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Louisville, Ky. to better handle the needs of its East Coast customers. In equipping the postpress area of the new plant, Zoo turned once more to Heidelberg, its postpress supplier of choice.

Among the new installations at the Kentucky facility are a pair of POLAR 137 XT and two POLAR 115 XT cutting systems, each networked via POLAR P-Net and equipped with Compucut software; as well as a pair of USA B-20 continuous-feed folders. Once the company phases in all of its services at the new plant, the new cutters and folders are expected to run around the clock, turning out a staggering variety of products including business cards, flyers and brochures of every description, notepads, greeting cards, and everything in-between.

According to general manager Ark Andoun, Zoo’s past history and experience with Heidelberg equipment at its California plant has more than proven the value of Heidelberg engineering in terms of reliability and durability. “The equipment lasts forever, gives great results, and the hands-on service is second-to-none. There was never a question—or reason—that we would look elsewhere to furnish our new facility,” he said.
