Case Study: CPI Books Chatham
The Challenge
CPI Books Chatham, one of the UK’s leading book printers, faced increasing operational challenges due to their aging fully automatic strapping systems. The existing machines from their supplier were becoming unreliable, with limited engineering support and long lead times for spare parts and consumables.
Seeking a more dependable and efficient solution, CPI approached Gordian Strapping after hearing about our success with another major UK book printer.
The Solution
Understanding CPI’s need for a seamless transition, Gordian Strapping, in partnership with OMS Group Italy, designed and installed multiple bespoke OMS M10 strapping machines featuring TR1400 modular heads. These systems were mechanically and electrically integrated into CPI’s existing Civiemme ST’s vertical log stackers, ensuring minimal disruption to their workflow.
Each installation required a custom mechanical solution, developed specifically to align with CPI’s existing infrastructure. Our engineering team worked closely with OMS Group to build and implement these solutions, guaranteeing a smooth and efficient upgrade from the previous systems.
The Result
By switching to Gordian Strapping’s bespoke OMS M10 solution, CPI Books Chatham now benefits from:
- – Reliable support – prompt engineering assistance and readily available spare parts.
- – Seamless integration – custom-built solutions ensuring smooth operation within existing systems.
- – Improved efficiency – advanced modular strapping heads enhancing performance and reliability.
- – Reduced downtime – faster response times and improved availability of consumables.
CPI now has a strapping solution that not only meets their current production needs but also provides the long-term reliability and support they previously lacked.
