Since INFOX GmbH & Co. Informations-logistik KG’s entry into digital back in 2008, printing has developed into an important pillar of their product portfolio. Established more than 40 years ago in Troisdorf, not far from Cologne, the company is known in the German tourism industry as the market leader for information logistics and communication solutions. INFOX belongs to the 7Days Group, a provider of logistics services, and specializes in the development and production of highly and hyper-customized media. Personalization, customizing and versioning in every conceivable form are realized with the help of 1:1 communication software solutions developed in-house.
INFOX employs around 250 people in Troisdorf, including 25 in IT and 40 in the printing and finishing departments, covering the complete process chain from data management as well as print media conception and design through production to mailing and logistics.
Among other things, the company keeps Germany’s 12,500 travel agencies regularly supplied with promotional material, information brochures and catalogs. INFOX additionally targets end customers with direct response campaigns on behalf of travel agents and tour operators, and sends them their tickets for booked trips. In the meantime, INFOX’s extensive expertise is also successfully leveraged for international clients in other industries such as finance and insurance or customized photo products.
The role played by digital printing has grown rapidly since INFOX first launched into print media production. Today, six Xerox iGen sheetfed color production presses are in use in Troisdorf. In November 2018, they were joined by a Xerox Trivor 2400 HF inkjet web press, which expands the production capacity for high volumes. This inkjet press, which works from roll to roll and prints the web in four colors on both sides in a single pass, is mainly employed for high-volume transaction printing where part of the content is in color, as well as for catalogs and magazines.
The INFOX management were already familiar with Tecnau from trade fairs, information supplied by Xerox and visits by Area Manager Robert Gubo.
“Our aim is to transfer customers’ online experience to printed advertising material, but it must be relevant and current. That’s why same-day processing – from receipt of the customer data to the finished printed products – is paramount for us,” explains Mahmut Acar, Manager Printing and Finishing at INFOX. “Being able to process the printed rolls on the Tecnau cut & stack solution supports our efforts in this direction.” He adds that the quick and easy changeover feature and the low-maintenance design of the entire line influenced the decision in Tecnau’s favor, as did the maturity and reliability of the Tecnau system components.
The Tecnau solution is designed for a maximum web processing speed of 120 m/min. It makes an ideal complement to the Xerox Trivor 2400 HF press, which can print at up to 100 m/min on uncoated paper or 76 m/min on coated stock. So far, INFOX has tended to process 450 mm roll widths and 80 g/m² paper on the Tecnau line, which in practice supports a much wider range of grammages. In short, the flexibility of the inkjet press as regards substrates is mirrored by the Tecnau system.
Mahmut Acar confirms that INFOX have no regrets about choosing the Tecnau cut & stack: “Our experience to date has been thoroughly positive and it all runs very smoothly. At the same time, our operators are pleased that the line makes so little noise.”
