Sing Tao News Corporation has ordered a new six-tower Goss Community press for the Canadian eastern edition of the Chinese language newspaper Sing Tao Daily.
The publisher’s experience with Goss equipment and personnel played an important part in choosing Goss for its latest technology upgrade.
The installation coincides with a relocation to a new printing plant in the city of Markham, within the Greater Toronto Area.
Peter Li, vice president – operations for Sing Tao Daily, Canadian eastern edition says, “There are a number of advantages to be gained from the installation. Our objective is to improve production efficiency and reduce waste while also increasing color capacity for daily editions and supplements. Goss is not unique in the ability to meet these needs but we have always used Goss equipment so we know it well, and confidence in the long-term support was also an important consideration.”
Sing Tao Daily was founded in 1978 and is the largest Chinese-language daily newspaper in Canada. The press for Sing Tao Daily, Canadian eastern edition will consist of six four-high towers and two folders for printing the Toronto daily editions, as well as five weekly supplements and two independent weekly magazines. Comprising five broadsheet sections for each daily edition, the main eastern edition has readership figures in the region of 200,000 copies per issue.
