Roanoke Times Updates Plant

DOVER, NH—The Roanoke Times has installed a Heidelberg Magnapak packaging system. The installation is part a $31.6 million upgrade to its production facilities. Phase two of the facilities upgrade will include the installation of the first Heidelberg gapless Mainstream press in the United States. The press install is expected to be complete by late fall. A Heidelberg NP200 gripper conveyor will carry papers from the press, through a walkway over a street, to the postpress area.
