The Welsh book publisher and printer wanted to boost its capacity to produce casebound books, due to addional demand. It has bought a Kolbus DA 260 fully-automatic casemaker, which runs at up to 40 cycles per minute and which managing director Jonathan Lewis described as “the perfect machine”.

Gomer Press also bought a compact Meccanotecnica Aster Pro sewing machine that runs at up to 200 cycles per minute, from the German-owned supplier. 

Family-owned Gomer was established in 1892 and specialises in books connected with Wales.
