17.01.12 - Kaleva Oy is going on the offensive with a large-scale investment in buildings and production technology. In September 2012, production on state-of-the-art, high-performance Ferag technology will begin operations in a new building. The part of the system dedicated to the postpress processing of newspapers will comprise an MSD2-C inserting drum with DiscPool and RollStream periphery for processing one preprint and up to four inserts, as well as a four-station DiscPool for offline bundle production.

The new installations will be used for print products that go beyond conventional newspapers. Which is why – for the moment – the Ferag concept envisages the integration of a trimming drum from the latest SNT-50 series as well as a StreamFold quarterfold line. The customer rates StreamFold as the perfect alternative to a quarterfolder built into the printing machine: far greater flexibility is achieved in production planning on the basis of a much smaller investment, in that the printing machine remains free for other production during quarterfold processing.

The team at Kaleva Oy reckons that the chances of acquiring new jobs in the print market and accessing new sources of revenue while achieving maximum utilization of overall capacity will be at their greatest thanks to this versatile and easy-to-expand system with its slim-line concept.
