Cenpak Packaging Industry Group, part of SCA Packaging Asia has pressed the button on a 15,000 sheets per hour (sph) KBA Rapida 142 press at its Suzhou plant in China.
The press will mostly print heavy board for folding cartons and displays, but will also be used for direct offset on microflute corrugated board.
Mounted on a 420mm (16.5") plinth, the size six (56") five-colour coater press with delivery extension incorporates a nonstop facility at the feeder and delivery, automatic plate changers, a multiple washing system for the cylinders, and a Logotronic Basic management information system (MIS), amongst other automation modules.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, KBA president and chief exeuctive officer, Albrecht Bolza-Schunemann, thanked David S C Hwang, president of SCA Asia, for choosing KBA technology once again.
SCA already has an installed base of KBA presses in Europe (in Denmark, Germany, Spain, Hungary and France) and Bolza-Schunemann expressed his pleasure that the group had continued that strategy in Asia.
"There is an emerging trend among Chinese printers away from the traditional medium format to larger formats.
Technologically, they are now drawing level with printers in North America and Europe," added Bolza-Schunemann.
KBA sales director Dietmar Heyduck outlined the group's operations in China, which provide nationwide coverage from six sales, installation and service points and will soon have the first sheetfed offset remote maintenance station in China.
Cenpak Packaging Industry Group operates 21 packaging plants in China, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
The SCA group, a major vendor of hygiene products, customised packaging and paper, has a total of 220 plants in more than 40 countries.
Cenpak itself has 17 production sites in China, but the Suzhou plant is the first to install a Rapida 142.
