Zimpapers chief executive Justin Mutasa said the installation of the $2.2 million fully automated Orient X-Cel printing press was at an advanced stage and would be ready for trial runs in two weeks.

He said prospects looked bright as the latest technology would guarantee the firm a slot as a leading company in the industry.

The new machine will replace the 30-year-old Goss Metroliner press and it is one of the biggest investments made by the group in many years.

The plant is twice as efficient as the old press which used to take much longer to print the various titles published under the Zimpapers stable.

The new printing press produces high quality newspapers and semi-commercial products such as gloss paper pullouts, fliers and pamphlets.
