Alliance Print has navigated numerous industry shifts and economic challenges, continually reinventing itself to meet evolving market demands. The partnership with Komori and Print Solutions has played a pivotal role in supporting Alliance Print’s transformation, offering innovative solutions that address their unique challenges and pave the way for success.
Founded in 2001, Alliance Print quickly grew into a prominent player in the Bulgarian printing industry. However, the 2008 financial crisis dealt a severe blow to magazine printing volumes, forcing the company to pivot towards book printing. Their adaptability paid off, and they soon became a market leader in Bulgaria, exporting to Germany, France, the UK, and other EU countries. Yet, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic once again disrupted the printing landscape, leading to a significant drop in printed materials.
Faced with these challenges, Alliance Print recognised the need to diversify and future-proof their business. This led to their strategic decision to enter the packaging market—a move that required reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality printing solutions.
In their quest for the right technology to support their new direction, Alliance Print conducted a thorough market study. Their choice to invest in the Komori GL640 advance printing press was guided by a few critical factors: reliability, affordability, and total cost of ownership.
The Komori GL640 advance press addressed multiple challenges Alliance Print faced. It delivered excellent print quality and significantly reduced make-ready times, optimising operational efficiency and lowering production costs. Cutting-edge features like PQA, PDC-SX PDF Comparitor further enhanced the printing process, ensuring consistent quality and productivity.
