NPES Explores Printing Industry in South China

As of 2010, they are now manufacturing all of the J-Print perfectors at this plant with all components and parts made in China. Their goal is to become the #1 manufacturer of sheetfed presses in China. The plant was extremely sophisticated with the latest in machine tool technology and testing equipment. According to Cao Rui Lin, the General Manager Assistant of SGPM, China imports about $1.2 billion of sheetfed presses each year, making a large potential market for their products. Clearly, NPES members making press accessories and components such as coaters, dampeners, etc., have an opportunity in this large and expanding market.
