Why Goss Customers Keep Goss

Six Reasons a Press Still Runs At Year 30

Selling a press is day one. The ten-thousand shifts that follow are why operators choose to stay with one partner.

01 / FOCUS

140 Years of Web Offset Focus

Since 1885, we have designed, built, rebuilt and supported web and commercial offset presses. No pivot, no distraction, no discontinued platforms we walked away from.

02 / LIFECYCLE

Rebuild & Relocate, Not Just Sell

Community, Urbanite, M-600, Sunday and Uniliner presses on active floors are rebuilt, repainted, rewired and relocated by the same OEM engineering team that originally commissioned them.

03 / PARTS

Spare-Parts Logistics Under One Roof

Bearings, cylinders, drive packages, folders, inking rollers, dampener pans — manufactured, reverse-engineered, and warehoused in regional distribution hubs for 48-hour critical dispatch.

04 / ENGINEERS

Certified Field Engineers

Field engineers commissioned and continuously recertified on Goss-specific press geometry, ink-rail timing, folder gear trains, and web-path calibration routines.

05 / PM PROGRAMS

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Scheduled PM contracts with documented gear-train inspections, dampener-roller replacement intervals, and predictive monitoring on drive motors — so a 30-year-old press still meets its original spec.

06 / CONTINUITY

Knowledge Continuity

Original manuals, retrofit kits, control-system upgrades (from Gossloop to modern PLC), and operator training preserved — not retired with each generation of leadership.

Pressroom Walkthrough

What a Goss Rebuild Actually Includes

A press rebuild is not a cosmetic refresh. Our engineers strip towers back to the frame, inspect every bearing and cylinder, rewire drive cabinets to modern PLC standards, recalibrate register, and sign off against the original commissioning spec sheet.

Strip-down & dimensional survey against original drawings
Bearing, gear and cylinder replacement to factory tolerance
Drive & control upgrade to current PLC platforms
Register, tension and web-path recalibration
Commissioning sign-off documentation for audit trails

“We ran our Community press for 28 years before calling Goss for a full tower rebuild. They stripped it, rewired the cabinets to modern PLC, and recommissioned it against the original 1996 spec sheet. Three years later it's still holding register every shift.”
— PLANT MANAGER, MIDWEST DAILY GROUP
