Goss International

Jake Creps, president of Creps United in Indiana, PA, pledged to rebuild his facility after a fire destroyed it last October. Plans to construct a new 100,000-square-foot facility are fast under way, with three new Goss Sunday presses to follow. Creps says the company will be back in full production in the fall.

The Goss International booth at the Graphics of the Americas trade show (February 21-23, 2013) at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, will provide the platform for collaborating on a wide range of technical solutions designed for the specific requirements of North and Central American markets.

A lot of printers produce direct mail products, but there may not be anyone doing it quite like Wheeling, IL-based SG360, a Segerdahl company. Equipped with a Goss Sunday 4000 web press that feeds a 75˝-wide web into a custom in-line finishing system, the company is delivering efficiency, versatility and value for its customers that are hard to beat, according to vice president of manufacturing John Romita.

There were only four offset presses actually running at GRAPH EXPO last month, but the leading vendors still had booths on the show floor. Video presentations, interactive displays, print samples, and standalone press consoles or press units were instead used to showcase new developments, enhanced maintenance offerings and press monitoring services.

With its first Goss Pacesetter 2200 saddlestitcher exceeding expectations, Freeport Press has signed an order for a second. “Innovative business practices, an emphasis on employee development and continuous investment in state-of-the-art technology have made us a nationally recognized leader in high-quality, short-run niche publications and catalogues,” stated David Pilcher, Sr., president and CEO of the publication printing specialist.

With intensive print testing completed throughout October at its headquarters, Goss International began shipping its first Sunday Vpak packaging press on schedule to Precision Press in North Mankato, MN, this week. The new variable-repeat web offset press system will be configured for flexible packaging and label applications.

Since the asset acquisition of Vits Print GmbH in December, Goss has assimilated production of the Vits equipment into its plant in Boxmeer, the Netherlands. Thirteen orders for Vits equipment have been taken or fulfilled during this period, with installations in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

CONCORD, NH—The former international trade finance manager for Goss International in Dover, NH, has been sentenced  to a year in federal prison and two years of supervised release for defrauding a number of overseas clients through a shell company formed with a Boston banker, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.

At GRAPH EXPO 2012, Goss International will recharge its drupa theme in highlighting its innovative approach for commercial, newspaper and packaging printing. Reiterating an invitation to “See Things Differently,” Goss will emphasize how this corporate philosophy provides new solutions for greater productivity and opportunity across all three print sectors.
