Transcontinental Invests in Three MAN Roland Presses for its First U.S. Newspaper Facility

The press purchase is the first technological development to be announced about Transcontinental’s new business model with the San Francisco Chronicle. Last November, Transcontinental signed an exclusive 15-year contract with Hearst Corporation to print the San Francisco Chronicle daily newspaper and its related products, as well as provide complete post-press services. Because details are still being finalized, the planned location of the new plant cannot be disclosed at the present time.
