Ryobi builds new plant in Japan

Jun 22, 2006 4:48 PM

Ryobi has more than doubled the size of one of its three printing press manufacturing facilities in Hiroshima, Japan. Press production and assembly is now underway at the new $17.3 million, 215,250-sq.-ft. facility, and full operations are set for October 2006.

xpedx, (Loveland, OH) the exclusive U.S. importer and distributor of Ryobi-branded presses for the last 31 years, said the expansion will result in increased availability of all Ryobi offset presses across the United States.

“This factory expansion is significant for U.S. printers because it brings them quicker access to the kinds of offset presses in high demand today,” says Don Harvey, vice president and GM of xpedx Printing Technologies, the Lenexa, KS-based, wholly owned division of xpedx.

In the U.S., xpedx Printing Technologies markets and distributes a wide variety of presses and printing technology including the following core offerings:

• RYOBI 750 series, 6-up high-speed multi-color 23x29” and 20x29” sheet size offset presses.
• RYOBI 680 series, 4-up-plus size high-speed multi-color offset presses.
• RYOBI 520 series, 2-up plus size high-speed multi-color offset presses.
• RYOBI 3404 DI series, 2-up size portrait format 4-color offset presses with direct imaging.

The 750, 680 and 520 series can be equipped with perfectors, coating units, UV curing units and infrared dryers.
