Irish Company to Host UK Printers
Walshe Print to Stage manroland GB Open Day Walshe Print, Waterford, Republic of Ireland, is to play host to a number of UK printers as manroland GB uses this "non-competitive" environment to demonstrate its flagship B2 press offering, the ROLAND 500.
The event will take place on December 7th 2006, and will be followed by an open day for Walshe Print's own customers and prospects on December 8th.
Walshe Print became the first Irish printer to install a ROLAND 500 at the end of 2005. Several others have since followed the company's lead, and the B2-format press has also seen a significant number of sales in the UK. "The purchase of the ROLAND 500 really gave Walshe Print a performance edge in a highly competitive market," said Gary Doman, Director of Sales for Sheetfed Presses and Finishing Equipment at manroland GB. "We are looking forward to taking a number of UK printers over to Waterford so that they can see how this was achieved."
The five-colour machine, sold by the independent operation of manroland Ireland, was part of a €2 million investment programme by the company in equipment and premises, which included a move to a new 8,000 square foot industrial unit.
The ROLAND 500 represented the company's first move into B2-format work. "We put in a lot of research over a 12-month period with regard to which press was most suitable for our business," said Steven Walshe, Managing Director of Walshe Print. "It came down to a straight competition between the two main German suppliers, manroland and Heidelberg. It was the support available through manroland that really helped us to make our final decision. They have a great team!
"Of course, value for money and print quality were also major influences, and we also looked at other Irish printers. It was interesting to see that of three presses in Ireland that have been in action for over 20 years, all were supplied by manroland, which emphasises the build quality of the machines that they make.
"Since we have had the machine we have been impressed by the huge improvements in quality that we have been able to achieve. Certainly the quality that we are able to produce is way ahead of our competitors," concluded Steven Walshe.
