Dietschi in Olten expands newspaper printing plant
Dietschi, a printing and media company based in Olten, plans to upgrade its newspaper printing press to full-color four-color printing. This investment is intended to meet higher standards and generate more outside contracts.
The Olten-based printing and media company Dietschi wants to upgrade its newspaper printing system to four-color throughout. According to a press release, the publisher of the Oltner Tagblatt and the Oberbaselbieter Zeitung wants to maintain its independence with this investment and meet the requirements of customers, newspaper readers and advertisers by adding two further 8-unit Geoman printing units to the Uniman newspaper press. Dietschi's own newspapers will benefit from the four-color printing capability, but the company also wants to secure more external orders. The focus is on small to medium-sized weekly newspapers with a circulation of 20,000 to 100,000, which can utilize the expanded printing system beyond daily production. The new printing towers should be operational from May 1, 2008.
