"It’s a distinct possibility if we cannot find any alternatives, and we hope they will be on a voluntary basis," said Kingston.
Kingston said the proposal to stop production on a machine had been taken by the company due to the current levels of overcapacity in the web industry.
The company currently runs seven presses: a Heidelberg heatset 48pp web press, two Komori System 16pp webs, a Komori System 38 32pp press, a Goss Universal 70, a MAN Uniset and an Albert heatset/coldset.
Benhamgoodheadprint was formed after the Goodhead Group merged the web operations of Benhams in Colchester and Goodhead Print in Bicester last year (PrintWeek, 2 November 2001).
