Riley Dunn & Wilson complete 65,000 spend

Bookbinding specialist Riley Dunn & Wilson (RDW) has stepped up its automation with a new lettering system from US company Flescher Corporation as part of a 65,000 spend on new kit.

The company will replace its existing 30-year-old system with a new System Three lettering machine in January.

Riley Dunn and Wilson, which has sites in Falkirk and Huddersfield, had three wheels for the machine specially manufactured.

Alongside the new lettering system, the bookbinder has purchased a new Matrix SH-650 laminator.

Managing director Charles Dunn said: "This is a big investment for us, but it was necessary. The machine we use at the moment had become too unreliable, we were still working with 7in floppy disks."
