SPH Print Centre houses 4 lines of KBA Commander presses and 4 lines of Colorliner presses in two separate press halls. “In selecting the provider of our CtP system, we have in place a rigorous and elaborate evaluation process to assess the merits of competing offers from established vendors.  Agfa meets our exacting requirements and has offered us the best solution and value for this major project.  We are also convinced of Agfa’s commitment to long term technical support,” said Anthony Cheng, Executive Vice-President of Production at SPH.

“With 17 newspaper titles in 4 languages, SPH Print Centre has one of the most complex operations in our industry. In addition, SPH’s requirements in terms of high print quality, efficiency and support are well-known,” said Tim Van den Bossche, President Asia at Agfa Graphics. “Being selected by SPH as partner in this growth region is an honour and a proof that our strategy, based on technology and cost leadership, works.”
