Trio moves into long-perfecting

Trio Offset is to install a 10-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 74 next month, the Mitcham firms first long perfector.

"The new press will give us more capacity and make us more competitive as well as opening up new opportunities," said director Graeme Sibley (pictured).

The press' fifth and tenth units will be mainly used for sealing at the virtually 100% Heidelberg house.

"It replaces an SM 74-6P but will run with the same manning, so should help us improve profitability as well as sales," said Sibley.

Trio's customer base, which is currently London-centric, is made up of publishers, event and conference organisers, charities and local businesses.
