06.10.2105 – HKM Beteiligungs Group based in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria, has selected 3TControl as its press automation supplier for all on press automation systems. The group operates print facilities in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. HKM Managing Director Kurt Übelher commented, “we checked the references of several suppliers, and eventually selected 3TControl. Our print business is growing and automation is an important part of our future as we look for more and more quality and efficiency. We were particulary impressed with the simplicity and colour stablilty of the 3TControl installation at Axel Springer’s Spandau plant that has a similar wide variety of print contracts to our business including important commercial work. We look forward to rolling out the 3TControl systems at our various facilities”.

The group wide agreement will start with a full print automation installation in Sosnowiec, Poland, on a manroland Colorman press over two sections that covers automatic register control, plate to plate control, as well as density, colour and water control. 3TControl president Ian Banerjee commented “its an honour for us to be selected by HKM Group. Right from the beginning it was clear that HKM were interested in automated high quality printing, and our VP2020 “Virtual Printer” system is designed specifically for that purpose”.

3TControl is represented in Germany by Gideon Martz of MakroSolutions.
