Baldwin Technology Company has announced it has received a $3.3m order from Sankei Shimbun, one of Japan’s five national newspapers with the country’s sixth largest circulation.
The order includes Baldwin’s spray dampening technology, automatic press washer systems, blanket cleaning systems and automatic guide roller cleaners to be installed on a new Goss Headliner press for Sankei Shimbun’s printing plant in Hokusetsu, one of their nine printing plants throughout Japan.
