McGowans ordered the first Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press in Ireland, Landa Digital Printing announced.
The new Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press will enable the Irish print house to enter the folding carton industry for the first time, expanding beyond retail POS and POP and smaller commercial print and packaging jobs, Landa noted.
McGowans said it hopes to use the new technology to double its turnover in its digital division.
"Disruptive technology is in our DNA, and as a result, we immediately recognized the advantages and possible transformative nature of the Landa press – its speed and quality are ridiculously good. Plus, its B1 format and its ability to print on any material for additional substrates/applications, opens up a whole new revenue stream for us. As soon as we saw it at Drupa 2012, we put down a deposit," McGowans CEO Mal McGowan said. "Our technology portfolio also includes a large number of different small and large format presses, as well as 3D visualization software and other value-added services – this has enabled us to diversify and grow. The Landa S10 will bridge the gap between the existing small format digital offering and the large format corrugated division. For the first time, with all the benefits of digital printing, we will now have the ability to offer much larger runs for direct-mail, commercial printing, POS and folded carton."
