The Zimbabwe National Printing and Packaging Company (Natprint), a business unit under fully integrated media house Zimbabwe Newspapers (1980) Ltd, has acquired technologically advanced plate-making machinery to keep ahead of competition.
Speaking after receiving the new technology yesterday Natprint general manager, Mr Njabulo Nkomo, said while some businesses have fallen by the wayside for failing to keep up with technological advancements, Natprint had decided to take advantage of digitalisation by embracing the changes it has brought about.
“Digitalisation does not mean you have to watch while you become irrelevant.
“It does not mean there is no more room for businesses that have been around for a long time.
“It simply means new equipment and opportunities have become available on the market.
“We have decided to embrace digitalisation by procuring the latest equipment; in this case a new plate-making machine,” he said.
The CTP machine, said Mr Nkomo, is the latest of its kind and would improve on efficiency, precision and reliability.
This would also ensure that in all its work; Natprint would produce the best quality for its customers.
The acquisition comes hard on the heels of the delivery of a new guillotine machine to Natprint.
Zimpapers Public Relations and Corporate Affairs Manager, Ms Beatrice Tonhodzayi, said the continuous upgrade is in line with Zimpapers’ thrust to continuously innovate and adapt to the changing technological terrain businesses are operating in.
She said recapitalisation is one of the critical strategies that the corporate will continue to invest in as it pursues further growth and expansion.
