And Action!
Since the end of 2007 the Print Media Center in
Wiesloch-Walldorf lures visitors with a unique concept: the open
architecture of the demonstration center allows visitors a glimpse
at the current performance possibilities in label and folding
carton printing - including special applications. Combinable
production lines are available to highlight just how far the
boundaries can be pushed - and that all live.
Even before setting foot in the door to the Print Media Center (PMC) in Wiesloch-Walldorf, you can see it - Heidelberg's new showcase for the production of folding cartons. The glass facade allows a peek inside the enormous hall in which printing presses, punchers and gluers are lined up to make a total of combinable production lines. The smoothed concrete floors, raw cement walls and shiny silver ventilation pipes make the demonstration and competence center look like a real print shop, something it was also designed to do. Only the people in light gray shirts with the Heidelberg logo as well as various groups of visitors remind you that you are in a showroom - and a mighty fine one at that. The range of solutions presented here is so comprehensive that some visitors end up informing themselves on topics that were originally not on their agenda - a possibility unique in the whole world. They go home thinking about all the endless possibilities for their print shops and businesses.
Tony Szymonik for example, Operations Director at Vibixa Ltd. from Cheltenham in Great Britain, took advantage of the opportunity during the opening week already. "I came here to take a look at the VLF equipment and I'm also interested in Data Integration. But now I'm also able to get a general idea of the Heidelberg workflow and Management Information System," Szymonik says. His print shop specializes in folding cartons for food and household items.
"Due to the size and output of our print shop, we are reliant on efficiencies in all areas. Consequently, we look at both at equipment and personnel. In addition, the focus on IT and the Management Information System is crucial to us for growing our business," says Szymonik.
