Components of the Heidelberg Mainstream 80 press are being trucked to Roanoke from a manufacturing facility in Dover, New Hampshire. Some pieces weigh more than 20 tons, and require a powerful crane to move them into place.
Since mid-March, two thirds of the 52 truckloads have arrived, and the equipment is filling 47- thousand square feet of space in the new building.
