Ferag sells 2 inserter lines for Dow
Jones’ N.J. plant
N&T Staff Report
Dow Jones
& Co. selected Ferag to install two MSD inserting lines to handle inserting for
The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s.
The lines, to be installed at
Dow Jones’ South Brunswick, N.J., production facility in 2009, each consists of
a MultiSertDrum MSD-2C inserting system with RollStream. They will enable the
daily zoned inserting of six supplements into the main product, Ferag said.
Additionally, a MultiDisc DiscPool winding/unwinding system will buffer the
product off two existing Ferag gripper conveyor lines.
The Journal currently uses
carriers to insert ad materials distributed to the New York market. Dow Jones
also plans to launch a magazine later this year that will also be inserted into
the paper, a spokesman said.
