Phil Vedda & Sons Triples Its Stitching Productivity with Stitchmaster ST 350 from Heidelberg

“Because we became so much faster and more productive on the offset side, we had to make sure our bindery could keep up and not turn into a bottleneck,” Vedda said. “The ST 350 saddlestitcher enables us to match the output of our pressroom.”

In addition to the Speedmaster CD 74 and new XL 75, Vedda & Sons’ 22,000-sq.ft. facility in Lakewood, OH, houses a two-color Speedmaster SM 52, a Printmaster QM 46-2, and a two-color Heidelberg SORSZ. Likewise, the company’s full-service bindery also relies on a pair of USA B20 Stahlfolders; a near-line DG Creaser to eliminate cracking along the fold; 45˝ and 36˝ Polar paper cutters; and an Original Heidelberg Windmill press used for diecutting, scoring, and perforating.
