The partnership between Media General and KBA North America continues to grow stronger, according to the US arm of the German press manufacturer.
The discussion presented a range of answers and observations about market trends, KBA equipment and each firm's success and profitability that resulted from working with KBA equipment.
John Giusto of Curtis Packaging, described how his firm works with designers to produce a different, unique package for each cosmetic or fragrance launch enabled due to the company's KBA Rapida 105 press.
The press is said to allow Curtis to produce a variety of different techniques on an array of substrates.
Joe Kulis of The Garvey Group revealed that his customers are always pushing the limits on print jobs and the necessity for its KBA press to respond to customer requests.
Individual substrates are the differentiator amongst southern California printers, said Gilbert Ashdown, and its KBA press has put it in a leadership position in its niche, added KBA.
John Giusto commented: "When we bought our KBA press, we did a lot of research and KBA was the best.
Since the installation, we've found KBA service to give us an immediate response.
We wouldn't buy a machine from any other press manufacturer.".
