Spica 529 Goes to John McCormick of Glasgow John McCormick and Co. Ltd. of Glasgow, Scotland, one of the country's oldest printing businesses, invested in the new Spica 529 on display at 2008.
David McCormick, Print and Administration Director, signed for the new press and was offered personal congratulations by Komori President and CEO Yoshiharu Komori. "We had been running a two-color Heidelberg, but the setup forced us to outsource a lot of work. This new Spica will allow us to bring that work in-house and also take on new business. We expect that the machine will primarily be used for jobs that require four colors and a sealant, and that accounts for an enormous share of the work in our market. We also expect, however, to use the press for two-over-two work, and the fast mode changeover was a major advantage in our view," said McCormick.
"We visited a Spica site in Ireland and ran three of our own jobs on the press. That was all the convincing that we needed. But we were also very influenced by the reputation of Komori service," added McCormick. This long-established printing house was established by David McCormick's great-grandfather in 1890 and is now in its fourth generation of family management.
