CJK Group Invests in Two Komori G40 Perfectors to Support Growing Content Production Facilities (whattheythink.com)

CJK Group, Inc., a technology-based parent company to numerous independently managed communications and print manufacturing plants nationwide, has purchased two eight-color Komori Lithrone G40 perfecting presses (GL840P) for installation at two of its printing plants: Sheridan KY in Versailles, Kentucky and Hess Print Solutions in Brimfield, Ohio.

CJK Group has been successful in redefining the entire book supply chain to overcome the challenges book and content publishers have experienced in this market. The company believes strongly that advances in print technology that allow for increased customization, shorter runs and faster turnaround will spur dramatic growth in this sector by giving today’s publishers, educators, catalogers and information providers the option to partner with exceptionally creative print providers that can produce their work. With this focus as its driving force, CJK Group has grown quickly over the last decade through numerous acquisitions to build what is now a multifaceted organization with extensive offset, digital and fulfillment production capabilities.

CJK Group acquired the Sheridan KY operation from Quad/Graphics in July 2020. The one million-square-foot facility is one of the largest book manufacturing plants in the country and specializes in hardcover books, softcover books and other publication types. Its new GL840P was chosen for its ability to increase capacity for printing the high-quality content the company produces.

Hess Print Solutions became part of CJK Group in 2013 and currently has approximately 250 employees working on a 24/7 production schedule printing book covers, inserts, cards and commercial work. The GL840P replaces a 20-year-old six-color offset press that had been unable to keep up with current production demands. After researching all press manufacturers for more than a year, Komori’s GL840P was chosen because it was the one press that met all the company’s production requirements.
