Glama Park's chief executive officer, Dean Caton, said: "Having assessed the need for a third large-format printing press, we had no hesitation in selecting another KBA press.
Our experience with the previous installations, especially on the more recent Rapida 142, which has been practically trouble-free, gave us great confidence in KBA's abilities. Request a free brochure from KBA ...
