The 'Kansas City Star', a title owned by US media group Knight Ridder, is about to take delivery of a KBA multi-unit Commander press line with a total of 36 four-high towers.
The presses were ordered in December 2002 and the press manufacturer said that as a big thank-you for the energetic support and smooth co-operation of all the KBA staff engaged in the project, the management of the 'Kansas City Star' threw a party in appreciation at KBA's Wurzburg plant.
Celebrating the casting of the final side frame in the foundry at KBA's main production plant, Randy Waters, vice president of production at the 'Kansas City Star', flew over especially from the USA with production director Dave Brolhorst and his wife Sue to organise the event.
To the accompaniment of the KBA works band an entertaining afternoon was spent engrossed in shoptalk while consuming quantities of Bavarian beer, Franconian sausages and steaks.
