RMGT presses were the clear choice for
eliminating their production bottleneck
The main presses used by the commercial
printing arm of the company had been in operation for almost 20 years and were lagging
behind in automation. With labor costs
increasing, greater automation became amatter of urgent importance for boostingproduction efficiency and reducing costs.
The company launched a project to resolve theissue, re-evaluating their production processes
and determining which presses to purchase tobest handle the printing work they were doing.
The presses they finally decided on were theRMGT 970PF-8 A1-plus size offset convertiblel The large-screen monitor and other features make the presses exceptionally operator friendly.
They expressed high hopes that the presses
will serve as their main machines for the future,praising the high productivity, excellent printing performance, and ease of operation.

t wo of RMGT’ s mostadvanced presses, Mr.
Song Pingchang said,“These two new presses have enabled us todramatically shorten
production lead times,

greatly increasing customer satisfaction. In
the past we had to outsource some work due
to a lack of production capacity, but now we’reable to do all the work in-house, and we estimate that this will save us approximately 800
million yen a year in outsourcing costs.”
Striving to expand market share to become
one of China’s leading printing companies
Mr. Song Pingchang says, “our goal is to be
one of China’ s leading printing companies, notonly in South China but nationwide.” To thatend, the company first plans to identify thelatent needs of existing customers.
