Adana Presses

At Libre Livre we have over 20 presses, many of them made by the Adana company, whose most popular models were the "Five-three" and the "Eight-five" - table top presses about the size of a sewing machine.

One of our equipment suppliers recently gave us an old brochure for these fabulous presses. It is not dated, but was almost certainly produced in the mid-1960s. At the back is a list of some of the organisations then using Adana machines including British Railways, Glaxo Ltd, Marks & Spencer Ltd, C.Nestle & Co Ltd, Royal Ordinance Factories and a number of universities; Bristol, Cambridge, durham, Glasgow, London and Oxford to name a few.

Seems like we are in good company.
