Livonia Print is again investing in cost-saving technology

Due to increased demand for Livonia Prints services and our wish to serve our customer even better, we have decided to invest in a fully automated gathering/sewing system from Muller Martini.
This will be the first system of this kind installed in our part of Europe.
It will make us even more competitive on books with a large number of sections as we will be able to gather and sew up till 24 sections in "one go".
If  more sections are needed, they can be added via hand-feeder.
With this investment we will have in total three sewing machines.

The machine is expected to produce in our premises by the end of september.
