The largest print media company in China's Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, ‘Quanzhou Evening News’ is installing will install a new single-width, one-around Goss Magnum 4 press capable of up to 70,000 copies per hour.
The 16-unit pressline – including a 2:3:3 jaw folder and five reelstands – will be installed in the second half of this year.
Vice president Wu Yuhuan says the decision to buy the newspaper’s first Goss press was influenced by its high performance features, but also by the affiliation with Shanghai Electric and well established operation in China.
“This project with Quanzhou Evening News reflects the emerging demand in China and other regions for presses that combine the versatility of the single-width, one-around format with speeds approaching those of two-around larger presses,” says Peter Kirwan, vice president of newspaper press sales in Asia for Goss International.
“We are in a very strong position to meet this demand with our Magnum and Universal platforms and with a worldwide manufacturing network that includes our Goss Graphic Systems China facility in Shanghai.”
Quanzhou is one of China’s oldest cities, with historical and cultural significance. As the official newspaper, ‘Quanzhou Evening News’ serves the city’s government and is also the voice of the local citizens and public opinion.
