Menzies Graphics Group has installed a five-colour Ryobi 755XL press with coater into its flagship Calgary plant, which is one of five locations now run by the company in Alberta and British Columbia.
“I believe there is still a good generation or two worth of offset printing to be had,” stated Grant Menzies, owner of Menzies Graphics. “The challenge is there’s too much capacity for the volume of work out there right now. By installing this new Ryobi press with its many cost efficiencies, we can offer a first-class product and continue to compete effectively against other commercial printers across Canada.”
The new Ryobi press, with a 23 x 29-inch format size, replaces a 30-year-old, 4-up Akiyama. Across all of its locations, Menzies operates sheetfed and web offset presses, toner- and inkjet-based systems, as well as a full bindery.
Menzies Graphics is a fourth-generation family business that celebrated 65 years of operation. After selling its office-products business to Corporate Express in 1997, the company began significant commercial printing growth in 2000 with the purchase of printing companies in British Columbia’s interior, Calgary and Edmonton. Today, Menzies operates five sales and/or production facilities in Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Kelowna and Kamloops.
