Printers Look to Support Continuing Growth with Solutions from Heidelberg

Haapanen Bros., a $12 million, full-service graphic arts and printing company in Lake Forest, IL, reports the installation of a continuous-feed, 20x28˝ Ti 52 Stahlfolder from Heidelberg. The new folder was added to support an increased volume of pharmaceutical folding; it joins an identical Ti52 in service at Haapanen for several years. Pharmaceutical printing and folding currently represents around 35 percent of Haapenen’s business.

Haapanen boasts an all-Heidelberg sheetfed offset pressroom, with installations that include a six-color Speedmaster XL 105, a six-color CD 74, two Speedmaster SM 102 perfectors (one with roll-sheeting), and a Printmaster QM 46-2. In addition to the Ti 52 folders, the company’s full-service bindery also hosts a Stitchmaster ST 350 saddlestitcher from Heidelberg, a TH-82 Stahlfolder, and a Polar cutting system.
