Heidelberg Speedmaster press at the plant of Percetakan Konta
Percetakan Konta is based in Perai , in the northern state of Penang , and has been a loyal Heidelberg customer for many years , having been won over by its reliable technology and exemplary services .
Around six years ago , Percetakan Konta replaced an older Speedmaster CD 102 with a new four-color Speedmaster press with a coating unit from the Heidelberg plant at the Wiesloch- Walldorf site in Germany . In 2017 , this press was joined by a Speedmaster CD 102-5 + L manufactured in China . The following investment came just one year later in the form of a Speedmaster CD 102-4 + L , also manufactured at the Chinese plant in Shanghai .
