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.
