KBA Comet Goes In At Turkish Newspaper Plant
Another of KBA's popular two-across, two-around Comets will come on stream in mid-year at the Istanbul production plant of Turkish newspaper publishing house Feza Gazetecilik.
The £1.2 million spend with KBA will include the upgrade of an existing mono tower and the provision of an additional 4/4 tower to provide up to 128 tabloid pages of full colour in one pass.
"The Comet has performed excellently over the years.
It still has a long productive life ahead of it and is well worth this new investment to give us 100 per cent colour," said CN Group technical director, Peter Simpson.
