Marquis announces the commissioning of the 2023 Muller Martini Diamant MC 60 hardcover book production line with in-line dust jacketing at its Toronto printing plant.

This solution provides fully automated servo-controlled functionality on the production line to produce 3,600 hardcover books per hour. The Diamant MC 60 comes equipped with the latest quality control components, including an automated in-line dust jacketing machine for complete finishing of hardcover books. These capabilities enhance our customer offering, increase our productivity and our product options, and improve our turnaround time.

This isn't the first time Marquis has installed a new binding line with Muller Martini. “It's a continuation of a strategic partnership we've enjoyed with Marquis for years. We at Muller Martini are proud of our long-standing relationship with Marquis, and plan on continuing our mutually beneficial relationship with the installation of this automated hardcover book production line that follows our Smart Factory and Finishing 4.0 ideologies,” said Andy Fetherman, President and & CEO, Muller Martini NA.

“In addition to our new Heidelberg colour press in Montmagny, the imminent installation of a new Timson press in Louiseville, and our additional investments in automation, the Diamant MC 60 line will increase our production capacity for hardcover books. This latest addition completes another chapter in our Horizon 2025 investment plan,” said Gino Labrie, Interim President.
