AVD increases printing capacity

Magazine printing AVD in Goldach is replacing a 19-year-old Rotoman C web offset press from MAN Roland with a new Rotoman with Printnet networking this year. A second press, known internally as the Goldiman, will be equipped with the same color control system as the new Rotoman as part of the replacement investment. The investment will give AVD significantly more printing capacity and greater flexibility. Owner and Managing Director Kai Hebel remains optimistic about the print media market. This optimism was one of the triggers for the new acquisition. With around 190 employees, AVD Goldach is now one of the largest print shops in Switzerland. Measured by the number of titles, AVD is even at the top of the rankings. The more than 28 million magazines are all produced in Goldach every year and distributed from there both in Switzerland and abroad.
