Warners specializes in magazine, brochure and catalog printing. In addition to the new Primera C130, the family-run business, which has been trading for 85 years, also uses three other Muller Martini saddle stitchers: two PrimaPlus saddle stitchers connected to a tandem system (installed in 2004) and a Prima (installed in 1989). Warners produces softcover products using a Müller Martini Corona C13 perfect binder, which also frequently runs at maximum speed.
