Dutch Printer Extends KBA Production Capacity
Dutch printing house Janssen Pers Rotatiedruk, a longstanding KBA customer based in Gennep, has ordered an extension to the single-width Continent web press it installed in 1999.
The choice of press was influenced by the company's satisfaction with six 48-page Compacta 618 presses, configured as three double-deckers, which came on stream some time ago.
The new 64pp press will be configured with two KBA Pastomat RC reel stands, four printing units, a dryer for twin-web operation, an enlarged chill-roller stand, a superstructure and a P5 folder.
This unusual configuration is customised specifically for Einsa's two main products, classic 4/4 commercials with a maximum page count of 64 A4 pages and 2/2 directories with up to 128 pages per section and ensures that press capacity can be exploited to the full, delivering cost and efficiency benefits.
Einsa started specialising in print production on lightweight stock soon after it was established in 1971 and has pursued a policy of continuing investment to corner that lucrative niche market.
Initially focusing on hotel guides and various other directories, it was quick to realise that telephone directories offered the greatest potential for growth.
Einsa currently employs around 500 people and runs 11 web offset presses plus two sheetfed presses for printing covers.
It consumes 100,000 tonnes of paper per year. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
