WRH Marketing UK Limited Press releases

Visitors to the stand of WRH Marketing UK Ltd at the forthcoming Print Ireland exhibition, 23rd - 24th September, Dublin, will be able to learn about the latest developments with MemoStick, an interactive sales promotion tool for newspapers and magazines. The company will show JobStrap, one of a range of products within the Jobfolio series of post press finishing equipment, which enables WRH Marketing to provide stand alone components or a complete packaging line within a customer's mailroom.

The UK's first Ferag EasySert system, which was launched to great acclaim at last year's IFRA exhibition, has been ordered by NWN Media for its Deeside site. The new equipment will be installed later in the summer and will be used to handle a wide range of NWN Media newspapers and also contract work produced at the site on a 128-page full colour KBA Commander press.

WRH Marketing UK has extended its service and support to Ferag customers in the UK and Ireland with the development of eShop, an on-line facility that provides 24-hour access for ordering spare parts.

'Ferag's TPC grippers provide great flexibility in the way we handle work coming out of the 4/7/7 folders on the Colorman XXL,' says Mr Mooney. 'It is also relatively easy to expand the Ferag line by retrofitting additional facilities such as stitching and inserting should we wish to in the future. The installation of the Ferag equipment has gone smoothly and we're very pleased indeed with the way this work has been carried out. The entire line was completed several weeks ahead of schedule and is now ready for commissioning of the press, which will take place during April.'

WRH Marketing UK Ltd has been appointed agent for UK and Ireland by German manufacturer Theisen & Bonitz, which produces a range of finishing machinery such as collators, stitch-fold-trim units, punching and numbering machines. This latest agency win for WRH Marketing is part of the company's expansion into the commercial web and sheet-fed sectors, areas in which the company is rapidly becoming an important supplier.

WRH Marketing UK has taken over exclusive distribution in the UK and Ireland for the Planatol range of gluing systems for web offset and newspaper production. The agreement, effective from January 1st, reflects the recent expansion by WRH Marketing UK into the web offset and sheet-fed commercial markets.

The expansion of WRH Marketing UK's JobFolio series of ancillary post press equipment, which now includes feeding, stacking, strapping and underwrapping machines, has been met with great enthusiasm by commercial and newspaper printers. Following the huge success of a JobFeed system at TMP's Birmingham site, the group has since installed a range of JobFeed and JobStack equipment at newspaper plants in Cardiff, Teeside and Blantyre.

In a project described as 'seamless' WRH Marketing UK has moved a complete line of Ferag stitching, gathering, trimming, log feeding and conveying equipment from the closed Corby factory of Quebecor to Polestar Varnicoat's Worcestershire gravure plant. The ten-year old line, which joins two similar Ferag lines at the Pershore site, was dismantled, moved and commissioned in around ten weeks.

WRH Marketing UK Ltd has been appointed the exclusive UK and Ireland sales agent by SIM Products, a family-owned, Illinois, USA, based company that produces a wide range of graphic arts machinery, such as feeders, loaders, quarter fold systems and stackers, used throughout the world for high speed production, mailing and packaging of books, catalogues, magazines and newspaper inserts.

Subway outlets in Huddersfield broke new ground in newspaper advertising yesterday, as the Huddersfield Weekly News ran on its front page a highly prominent, Subway branded 'BOGOF' 3D advertisement printed on a self-adhesive MemoStick® label. A major attraction to advertisers is the ease with which the customised MemoStick label can simply be peeled off the page and reapplied to another surface, such as a fridge, wall, computer screen or diary. This gives the advertisement the potential for a much longer 'shelf-life' and impact than the publication which carries it.
