The installation of the first Landa S11P Nanographic printing press in the US has been completed at Quantum Group’s Chicago site. The B1 format S11P joins the group’s existing Landa S10P.
“We’ve purchased our second Landa press because the experience with the first has been so positive,” said Quantum Group CEO, Cheryl Kahanec. “The Landa press platform, overall, is opening a world of opportunity for us. From 41in sheet size and high speed to colour range and substrate compatibility, Landa presses consistently, and sustainably, produce high-end and variable content for so many different applications.”
The additional capacity provided by the Landa S11P will help support growth that Quantum credits to the S10P’s impact on plant-wide production and new business. In addition, Kahanec believes that the company will now beat its timeline estimates for at least two new application initiatives.
“When we moved work from traditional offset printing to the S10P,” Kahanec explains, “we started to see an increase in automation throughout the entire enterprise. The faster processing times and increased efficiency across all departments has allowed us to expand our service offerings as well as the vertical markets we serve…ultimately leading to substantial growth.”
Sharon Cohen, Landa’s chief business officer, said 20% of its customers, now including Quantum, have purchased more than one Landa press. Two models were unveiled pre-Drupa – the S11 and S11P.
