Three brand-new medium-format Rapida 106 presses are in operation at Belgian printer Albe De Coker in Antwerp. Seven days a weeks, 24 hours a day. Plant manager Patrick Leus says: "We have organised our workflow for high-volume production, without impairing either product quality or our relationship with our customers."
Over the past five years the De Coker family business has made two transformative moves. The first was a merger in 2007 with Albe, a print enterprise almost three times as big, to form Albe De Coker. At a single stroke this tripled the workforce from around 35 to 115. The apknos jmny vjc iscdzgq goqk.
