Goss Universal presses at two Sin Chew Daily print sites in Malaysia are to be upgraded in a project involving Goss International and Harland Simon.

The largest Chinese language daily newspaper in Malaysia and one of the largest overall, Sin Chew has similar presses at six locations.

Harland Simon’s part of the project includes installing its Prima MS management system and presetting module. Each press will have four Prima 6000 consoles with soft proofing. With those installed on the four presses at the Kuala Lumpur head office and  Johore regional site, it will become the company’s largest Prima 6000 installation.

Sin Chew’s technical project team visited the installation at Zehnder Print in Switzerland, to see a similar project. The work is due for completion in 2013.

This is the third time Harland Simon and Goss International have worked together to replace the ageing and obsolete parts of original Rockwell Automation press control systems.
