Peter Kirwan, Asia Pacific sales director says, “SEC is a long term investor, and has been a long term partner of Goss already, our joint venture in Shanghai has been in existence since 1993. Taking complete ownership is good news for Goss and its customers.”

SEC is the owner of brand names such as Akiyama, Purlux, Guanghua, Yawa, Shen Wei Da and Feida, product lines for sheetfed printing, binding, die-stamping, foiling and guillotining. Some of these featured at Ipex:

The Mega Jprint has new features including the ability to automatically change all plates simultaneously in three minutes, and a press speed of 15,000 iph for four-over-four jobs. It prints each side of a sheet separate units, which are positioned one above the other and feature their own plate, blanket and impression cylinders. Goss adds that this enables the entire sheet to be printed on both sides without the need to turn the sheet or leave gripper margins on the tail edge.

The Yawa Pro-F106 die-cutter’s capabilities include foil stamping, die-cutting and stripping. A new infeed and control system enables holograms to be applied at high speed. Goss says its Purlux 1200 saddlestitcher complements Goss Pacesetter saddlestitchers. Together they cover a range of binding requirements from 10,000 to 25,000 cph.

The Feida automated guillotine on show features control of lifting, jogging, cutting and restacking of printed sheets at a speed of up to 48 cutting cycles per minute. It can sheet substrate, from paper to board, with a maximum pile height of 165mm.
