Chinese Printers Sign For Rapidas For 4 Plants
Chinese printers Wing Hung and its affiliated company Shore To Shore (STS) have signed contracts with Koenig and Bauer (KBA) for another four Rapida sheetfed offset presses.
The finishing and conversion section, furthermore, operates four Bobst die-cutters and a SP-76 BM foil-stamping press with equipment for the application of security holograms and an electronic multi-register system.
In addition, there are three gluing lines from Bobst and two from Vega for hot-melt and cold gluing, as well as electronic bar-code readers and electronic monitoring for the security holograms.
As an increasingly export-oriented company, Corti implemented a quality management system in 1997 and it is currently tailoring its operations to the requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.
Corti's president Hector Corti explained that the arguments which clinched the deal for the Rapida 105 press were not only the financing possibilities but, above all, the level of equipment and the performance of the press.
And the company's Daniel Bordoli commented: "The Rapida has been running absolutely reliably so far and enables us to deliver to our customers at very short notice." The similarly newly-installed CTP system from Screen is able to produce 23 plates per hour.
Together, the two investments establish a basis for very fast turn-arounds, one of the most important demands of the market.
Roberto Klockner, president of the Argentinian KBA agency Dekaprint, thanked Hector Corti for the confidence he had shown in KBA's print technology.
And Christian Klein, KBA's sales manager, said that the Rapida 105 universal as an ideal press for Latin America, as it promises profitable in respect of print output, make-ready and manning levels.
Within the framework of the subsequent official inauguration of the Rapida 105 universal, two high-quality jobs were printed and coated in quick succession - one a typical commercial job, the other a sophisticated poster. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
