At drupa 2008, Bangkok, Thailand-based packaging and label printer Thung Hua Sinn Group purchases 32 units of the Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 75 sheetfed-offset press. 

During more than 50 years of the company's history, the Thung Hua Sinn Group has become a specialist in packaging and label printing, documented by a large number of prestigious awards for quality printing and environmentally friendly printing. The converter offers complete services, including prepress, printing, finishing, coating, diecutting and embossing.

"We are committed to utilizing the most up-to-date machinery throughout the entire production process. This commitment gives us a cutting-edge advantage and assures our clients total satisfaction," says Ananchat Thangkasemvathana, managing director of Thung Hua Sinn Group. This strategy was the foundation of the decision to modernize the company's machinery with various Speedmaster XL 75 presses. Among them is also the 10,000th unit of the most productive press platform (of Speedmaster CD 74 and Speedmaster XL 75) in the 50 x 70 format range.

Thung Hua Sinn Group also added several fully automated cutting and label systems from POLAR. All equipment will be integrated with Prinect Workflow software. The new machinery will be installed in a newly built facility outside the city.

The Speedmaster XL 75's standards, such as the automatic presetting of the complete sheet travel and the new Prinect Press Center with the innovative process-oriented operator guidance IntelliStart, are the pre-requisite for a highly profitable production. Options such as the maximum printing speed of 18,000 sph, AutoPlate XL and Prinect Inpress Control or double-coating presses and the CutStar or FoilStar modules further emphasize the flexibility in fitting this Heidelberg press to various needs.
