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 plant will also print brochures and catalogues.
The presses will be erected in a 60,000 square metre (646,000 square foot) production hall in a complex including a logistics centre and administration building on a 19-hectare (44.5 acre) greenfield site.
Construction work commences this autumn.
The new plant will create around 150 permanent jobs in production, technology and maintenance, with most of the staff hired locally.
It will also provide employment for a large number of part-time workers and local service firms.
There are plans to organise in-depth training for the press crew prior to completion.
The two KBA TR10B presses for BDN will have a maximum web width of 3.68m (145") and web speed of 15.6 metres per second (mps) (3,070 feet per minute), equivalent to 57,000 cylinder revolutions per hour in four-around production.
Each will have two single-width folders.
Following contracts for superwide KBA gravure presses from Germany (Burda Media in Offenburg and Tiefdruck Schwann-Bagel in M?nchengladbach), the USA (RR Donnelley in Lancaster) and France (Lenglet Gravure in Cambrai), the order for Poland reflects an international wave of new investment in gravure technology, in which KBA is the world market leader it believes.
