WE-Druck in Oldenburg, Germany, has opted for a highly automated newspaper press from Koenig & Bauer for the first time with the investment in a Commander CL. The printshop can now pump out up to 110,000 four-color newspapers per hour in the customers’ preferred format.
“We upgraded our entire postpress equipment three years ago and the investment in a new newspaper press line was the next logical step. The Commander CL will be the new heart of our printing house,” said Harold Grönke, managing director of Nordwest-Zeitung Verlagsgesellschaft.
The company views this latest investment as an important step in producing its numerous print titles more efficiently and cost effectively, as well as meeting today’s demands for high quality. The Commander CL is scheduled to come on stream in summer 2019.
WE-Druck is a division of the NWZ-Mediengruppe media group and has been on the market as an independent printing house since 1982. Eighty employees currently make sure that more than 1.5 million newspapers are produced and some seven million supplements are inserted. Alongside daily and weekly newspapers the Nordwest-Zeitung, the Ostfriesen-Zeitung and several Sunday titles, the company also prints various monthlies.
