NYDN picks Pesmel for roll handling

Following the bankruptcy and closure of the vendor originally tapped to supply an automated roll handling system to the ( New York ) Daily News, the paper picked a new company to finish the project.

Pesmel, a Finnish vendor, will install a six-high storage system, including two stacker cranes, as well as material management software and other associated applications, according to IMC America, Pesmel’s North America sales agent.

The system, to be installed at the Daily News’ Jersey City , N.J. , plant, will feed newsprint to the paper’s new Koenig & Bauer AG Commander CT pressline. It will be delivered this fall, IMC said.

The Daily News and KBA were forced to find a new roll handling supplier following the bankruptcy and closure of vR Systems late last year.
