HONEYWELL TO SUPPLY PRINTING PRESS CONTROL SYSTEM TO FINNISH PRINTING HOUSE
Honeywell Expands its Footprint in the Printing Industry, Provides Upgrade to Book Printing Enterprise
PHOENIX, Feb. 22, 2005 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced it has received a contract from WS Bookwell, a member of the Sanoma WSOY Group, to upgrade printing press automation at the company’s Juva Book Mill in Finland. Honeywell will install a Printa press control system and provide life cycle management services with the goals of facilitating operations, reducing waste and ensuring top quality in every print run. The project is scheduled for start-up in May 2005. This is the first time Honeywell will supply a Printa system to a book printing enterprise.
“Honeywell technology and life cycle services provide us with a total solution that will enable our operators to easily and efficiently control the printing process,” said Juha Rouhiainen, WS Bookwell Production Manager. “Our decision to work with Honeywell was based on Sanoma WSOY’s positive experience with previous Honeywell solutions and the knowledge that Printa gives us the flexibility to upgrade and expand our technology in the future.”
The system is to comprise all the functions of a MAN-Bookomatic printing press, including production planning, drive controls, plus the unit and folder controls. The printing press line functions will be fully automatic, with the press printing and finishing the end-product from the paper roll into ready-made books.
“We’re excited to broaden our printing press automation solutions to book printing enterprises,” said Paul Orzeske, vice president Europe, Middle East and Africa for Honeywell Process Solutions. “This agreement strengthens our capabilities to supply automation solutions that reduce printing costs and increase operating efficiency.”
