Tribune Co. Adding Goss Magnapak Inserting System to Support Total Market Coverage Services

“Our Magnapak systems provide exceptional quality and productivity, so the decision to add another to support our growing preprint business was an easy choice,” Craig Sipich, director of Technology and Engineering.

In 2007 and 2008, the Chicago Tribune Co. installed six Magnapak systems with a total of 254 hopper stations along with Goss Omnicon II and Omnizone supervisory controls to achieve advanced microzoning and selective inserting capabilities. Five of the systems are used for daily newspaper inserting at the Freedom Center. The sixth, installed at the Tribune Direct facility, provides selective packaging of the company’s total market coverage (TMC) product and several other products for its growing list of newspaper packaging customers.
