Standard Finishing Systems’ partners Horizon and Hunkeler will demonstrate a broad portfolio of new postpress and paper handling solutions--including a slate of first-ever showings and a world record for folding speed--throughout the halls of Ipex 2010 in Birmingham, England, May 18-25.

Standard Finishing Systems marked the close of the six-day PRINT 09 event by announcing strong sales results across their feeding and finishing product line, productive engagement on large customer projects, and a “worth-a-look” award.
