PARTNERSHIP-BASED RELATIONSHIP PAYS OFF

摘要

The online print shop Saxoprint based in Dresden,Germany has recorded double-digit sales growth in recent years and last year generated sales of over €100 million in the area of commercial online printing as part of the CEWE Group.Its product range has undergone a significant change in this time.Standard commercial printed materials such as flyers,posters,catalogs and brochures are still the main focus and account for 80% of its business,but packaging now represents a large growth market.”Our business model is based on cost leadership,”explains Managing Director Klaus Sauer.”We use special algorithms to bundle the orders received via the web shop into gang runs and distribute them to the respective machines.With us,every order is individual.As well as a good price,delivery reliability and speed are important.”High efficiency and speed are important.Up to 5,000 orders are produced daily in three shifts.This is only possible using industrialised processes and the most modern equipment.With this in mind,the company has invested over €70 million in new solutions in the past seven years.The latest installation in the press room comes in at an impressive fifty metres-a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 162 eight-colour perfecting press with the newly developed LFS165 inline roll sheeter developed by BW Papersystems.For many years,BW Papersystems have developed and supplied 75 and 106cm format sheeters under the CutStar name,with Heidelberg.The LFS165 is a BW Papersystems development and can be supplied to any end user,no matter which type of machine is owned.
