GM FINISHING MOVED TOWARDS ENHANCING FINISHING ABILITIES BY INSTALLING RENZ MOBI 500

The installation of a Renz Mobi 500 wire ring-binder took place at GM finishing in late February for the completion of Nottingham-based GM’s existing tasks which incorporates booklet making, wire-binding, drilling, punching and sheet collation.

Managing Director and founder Gary Middleton had examined the machine at Ipex in November last year. After that Gary made a visit to a local print company which was performing their tasks by using this same machine. On seeing that machine running, Gary got an opportunity to see the capabilities of the Renz MOBI 500.

The machine left a great impression on Gary with its impeccable productivity with minimal glitches while the job was running. Gary stated that “The Mobi’s versatility was what struck me the most, this machine has numerous benefits and gains us much time", Gary added.

“We are impressed after seeing the quick setup and a stack of advantages on the ability to bind. Like everyone else, we also want to improve the quality and enhance our operations by removing all the flaws which get created and then passed to the end product”.

Renz’s Mobi 500 is designed for semi-automatic ring wire binding of books, calendars and skip binding up to 260 sheets document thickness. It changes format in two minutes and runs at 1,000 cycles per hour.

The latest design of this machine has the ability to perform a job with no down time and provides a significant advantage to the user.

It is an advanced and technically clever machine, consolidated by smart features. Renz provides a touch screen on this machine which enables quick make readies which Middleton appreciated because “everybody wants things immediately”.

Gary mentioned that “We hope the machine will pay for itself within three years”.

While GM has no further Capex in the near future, Middleton said his focus was on utilising his staff to optimise turnover. In the past 12 months, he has increased his team by “10%-15%”, now numbering 20 employees.

Established in 2006, GM Finishing is based in 650sqm premises and turns over £650,000.
