📙 "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.

📙 Peeters Publishers is an international printer, bookstore, and publishing business based in Leuven (Belgium) and serves the academic community by printing and publishing books and journals. Luc Peeters' vision is to have fully automatic book production with a workflow capable of efficiently managing short runs with the minimum number of workers on the production floor. "We were looking for bookbinding machines capable of producing high-quality books directly from the roll to increase productivity and integrate post-press processes. We already had a Universe sheet-fed book sewing machine in production since 2016. We were satisfied with the quality, reliability, and production capability. The choice, therefore, went towards Universe Web and Nipping system that in the current configuration guarantees a higher degree of automation and an increase in productivity". 🏆 Read the full success story: https://lnkd.in/ey55E8Mh #meccanotecnicagroup #bookfinishing #printindustry #printfinishingsolution #digitalprintfinishing
