If you are looking for hardcover production you should look for a suite of equipments:
- backgluing (can be skipped if opted for PUR binding)
- sewing or PUR perfect binding machine
- case making machine
- casing-in machine
- three knife trimmer
In this field the main competitors are Muller Martini (the best in my opinion) and Kolbus. There are some other small manufacturers but it depends on your budget and needed productivity. The sollution are quite costly so please add some more details regarding volumes, quality, budget, etc.
Good luck.
