Freeport Press to Install Another Goss Pacesetter Saddlestitcher

DURHAM, NH—Nov. 1, 2012—With its first Goss Pacesetter 2200 saddlestitcher exceeding expectations, Freeport Press has signed an order for a second.

“The Pacesetter delivers high-quality books at high speeds, is extremely reliable and easy to operate, and can be changed over very quickly from job to job,” reported David Pilcher, Sr., president and CEO of the publication printing specialist. “Those capabilities give us the highest possible net productivity, even in a short-run publication environment.”

The new 22,000-books-per-hour Goss saddlestitcher with eight hopper positions will be installed in the spring at the company’s facility in Freeport, OH. The new finishing system will be equipped with eight horizontal servo-drivenhoppers as well as its FS22 flying stitcher, HT22 three-knife trimmer and BS60 counter stacker.

“Innovative business practices, an emphasis on employee development and continuous investment in state-of-the-art technology have made us a nationally recognized leader in high-quality, short-run niche publications and catalogues,” stated Pilcher. “The Goss Pacesetter technology is a good example of how putting great tools in the hands of great people can allow you to do great things for your customers.”
