World's First Carbon Balanced Press Bound For UK
A
KBA product story

Polar Print inspected the latest stages of the manufacturing of what is claimed will be the world's first carbon balanced press - a Rapida 105 six-colour machine from KBA.
Viewing its press under construction at the KBA plant in Dresden (Germany), Polar Print of Leicester (UK) is investing GBP3 million (US$6.1m) in the KBA pressroom technology and the first Rapida will see the company change to alcohol-free printing.
That is another step in its programme of corporate social responsibility and matching KBA's own priority for eco-friendly manufacture and operation, said the company.
David Gask, chairman of Polar and the company's business development associate director, Romona Harron-Harding, discussed environmental matters with KBA's executive vice-president for sheetfed sales, Ralf Sammeck.
Williams Lea, one of Polar Print's clients, was represented on the visit by Claire Deacy.
