📙 "Holy books need to be durable, and the binding method must enhance the beauty of the printing and reading experience. Thread sewing is the only binding method that gives books these properties. Every signature is sewn tightly to the previous one to form a structure that can withstand time. To perform this process efficiently requires fully automated and highly performant machines. We needed to increase the efficiency of the book sewing process to reduce book lead time consistently. We are satisfied with the six asterTOPs; the high reliability and machine uptime have helped us achieve our goals." Mr. Sugeng Sentosa, CEO of PT Macananjaya Cemerlang.
