The partnership between Media General and KBA North America continues to grow stronger, according to the US arm of the German press manufacturer.
KBA North America believes that all web and sheetfed customers will benefit from the availability of additional qualified service personnel throughout the country.
North America represents a major KBA market, accounting for 15 per cent to 20 per cent of turnover and annual sales worth several hundred million dollars.
And, according to KBA, merging the two North American operations reaffirms a commitment by the company's German and North American management to providing long-term, professional and cost-effective customer service.
More details will be released in the coming weeks added KBA.
Ralf Sammeck, KBA North America's president and chief executive officer, said: "Our ultimate goal is to offer all North American customers the most technologically-advanced printing presses in web and sheetfed supported by the industry's best direct parts and service teams.
By combining the synergy of both organisations under one roof we can optimise customer service and overall satisfaction, thus ensuring all printers have one contact point for all their needs." He added: "Since KBA is the only press manufacturer to offer sheetfed presses from 20"-81", along with commercial, newspaper and rotogravure web products, we can analyse a printing company's overall strategy and then offer them a customised solution.
This is only available from KBA.".
