Northcliffe Newspaper Group again chooses Harland Simon June 17th 2002

Northcliffe Newspaper Group has embarked on a major upgrade programme which will involve the installation of two new GOSS Colorliner 80 fully shaftless towers at Aberdeen Journals Ltd. Harland Simon was chosen to provide the press controls, not only for the new towers, but also to upgrade the controls on the existing press.

“Harland Simon were able to demonstrate a proven track record of upgrading press control systems and integration of shaftless press extension projects” said Mark Ellington, Technical Director of Northcliffe. “We were satisfied that the solution proposed by Harland Simon would minimise the risks to production during the installation period.”

The three new Harland Simon PRIMA 5000 press control desks and shaftless drives will interface with the existing PRIMA Management System which has been operating successfully in Aberdeen for the past two years.

The controls upgrade represents the first phase of this major project and will be completed before the new towers arrive in May 2002.
