As one of the largest exhibitors at PRINTINGUnited Expo 2024, WHERE To Print caught up Andrew Fetherman, President and CEO of Muller Martini Corp. in North America during Media Day 1:1 Meeting to ask amongst others – why Muller Martini should be Printers’ strong partners and why they need CONNEX. Part of his response below forms the caption of this SPECIAL FEATURE INTERVIEW:
MULLER MARTINI IS WELL KNOWN IN THE INDUSTRY IN TERMS OF FINISHING; TELL US WHAT’S NEW TO SEE AT YOUR STAND?
Along with our well-known finishing brands to be exhibited live at our Booth C2561 demonstrating our concept of “The Smart Factory Solutions”; we’re going to showcase the new Hunkeler Starbook Sheetfolder, a North American premiere in-line press with the Vareo PRO perfect binder. Visitors will also be able to experience the Hunkeler roll-fed Prinova Digital saddle stitcher and the InfiniTrim robot trimmer first-hand. Both technologies take production processes to a new level and offer print shops the flexibility and efficiency they need in a dynamic market environment. This is because both machines have eliminated the many manual steps required to produce a book in a cut sheet workflow. This is indeed a groundbreaking solution in terms of book finishing.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL PRINTERS?
Muller Martini is your strong partner. It will interest you to know that 99% of books ordered from Amazon are done by us. That is why Muller Martini has the perfect solutions for both offset and complex digital finishing needs. Yes, we are known for real quality but our biggest differentiator now is automation; from file to finished product.
TELL US ABOUT CONNEX?
Thanks to its end-to-end data handling and synchronized output management, our industry-leading Connex Workflow System (Connex for short) significantly increases efficiency and reduces operating costs by providing a complete file to finished product workflow solution. We have taken automation to the next level with 7 seconds change over; just send us your PDF and we will do the rest. This will also be demonstrated live at booth to show visitors how Connex can transform their business processes and increase their profitability.
LAST WORDS…
Muller Martini is setting new standards in the North American market for Smart Factory solutions with our wide range of machines on display at our booth. Our latest developments combine decades of know-how with state-of-the-art technology to enable unprecedented efficiency and precision in print finishing. Technology at our booth shows that we are on the right track to drive digital transformation in the printing industry. See you at our Booth C2561!
