MAN Comes to Motown

After the Lions fell in the extra stanza, the six new MAN Roland Geoman presses were fired up. These are the centerpiece of the company's $170 million expansion of the North Plant in Sterling Heights, MI—a 50˝ web configuration that includes 300 couples, 60 webs and six folders. Detroit Newspapers added a total of 190,000 square feet to the plant to accommodate the new presses. The company states it is now able to increase production levels, push back editorial deadlines and offer color on every page.
