By: E&P Staff GMA, Allentown, Pa., recently signed agreements for inserting equipment with several existing U.S. customers and with newspapers in three other countries.
The Northwest Indiana Times, Lee Enterprises' daily in Munster, Ind., added an 18:2 SLS2000R inserter to their operation, which already houses a 24:2 SLS2000 installed in 1999. GMA will relocate this inserter, along with two existing Muller Martini Biliner inserters, to make room for the new machine.
A 12:1 Alphaliner for Western Newspapers Inc. will be installed at a central printing plant in Golden Valley, Ariz. Two years ago, GMA installed a 14:1 Alphaliner with a CN-25 stacker for Western subsidiary Prescott Newspapers, in Prescott Valley, Ariz. (The family-owned partnership publishes 15 newspapers, 11 shoppers, five real estate magazines, an auto trader magazine, two phone books, and seven direct-mail publications, and operates a sign shop, three commercial printing plants, two radio stations, a billboard company, and 27 websites.)
The Tampa Tribune expanded an existing GMA system by converting one of its standard single-delivery 14:2 SLS3000 inserters to an 18:2 dual-delivery machine, which changes the Tribune's system to one 14:2 standard SLS3000 and three dual-delivery SLS3000s (two 18:2 and one 40:2), and 28 AF300 hopper loaders.
Overseas, GMA finalized contracts in Germany with Siegener Zeitung for a 16:2 SLS3000 inserter and Mannheimer Morgen for a 12:2 SLS3000 with six AF300 automatic hopper loaders, in Australia with Toowoomba Newspapers for an 8:2 SLS3000 inserter with three AF300 loaders and APN Newspapers, Lismore, for an 8:2 SLS3000 with three AF300s, and Brazil with Porto Alegre's Zero Hora for a 3:1 SLS3000.
