Allied Litho Makes Its Next Press Move with manroland

“Eventually,” said Heier, “We would like to get to a point where we are running our two presses on a two shift basis. Our third shift would be a swing shift where we would use one or the other, depending on the requirements of the work at hand.”

In addition to increasing its capacity Allied Litho is also looking to the new press for improved profitability. The company will realize considerable reductions in the cost of consumables by using a smaller press when the large format press is not necessary. Balancing the work over a smaller number of shifts will result in less overtime costs.
