ROCKFORD, IL | Visitors to the Taiyo Kikai stand at the recently concluded All in Print China show in Beijing saw new Taiyo presses running continuously with Martin Automatic splicers and rewinds.

A Taiyo central-impression cylinder letterpress featured a Martin MBSC butt splicer and STR turret rewind. Martin also supplied a Model MBS butt splicer and LRD transfer rewind on a new Taiyo offset press.

Gavin Rittmeyer, VP of sales and marketing for Martin Automatic, complimented He-Liang Qi, general manager of Shanghai Xinmin Taiyo Kikai Co., on the successful exhibition, observing that both lines showed well and attracted much attention from visitors. “Taiyo is quite forward thinking to market fully automated presses to their customers. This reflects Taiyo’s commitment to consider all aspects of a customer’s needs, including their needs for reducing downtime, eliminating waste, and ensuring maximum productivity.…”
