An investment set to maintain and extend the company's competitive edge is how Surrey printer, Aldridge Print Group has described its purchase of a new KBA Rapida 105 ten-unit sheetfed press.
DS Smith Neath's general manager, Morgan Beake explained: "Our choice of a KBA Rapida is based on the presss proven track record for quality and reliability and its excellent substrate flexibility.
We also have good experience of Rapidas elsewhere in the DS Smith Group." A major decision factor in favour of KBA is its proven track record for the design of environmentally friendly printing presses.
The DS Smith Rapida 105 will be fitted with the latest ECO package for environmental operation, an increasingly important factor for major groups such as DS Smith Packaging added KBA.
