Southdown bought the computerised MB CAS 38 from UK dealer Encore Machinery in May, having traded in its previous MB folder.
"The difference has been quite dramatic. As well as being much faster to set-up, its so much easier to operate," said Southdown managing director Matthew Curtis.
According to Curtis the investment in the fully computerised MB was partly driven by the growing amount of short-run digital and repeat work at the firm - areas where he said the MB's anti-static bars and job memory came into their own.
