Uruguayan printer Imprimex has ordered its first Rapida 105 press, a four-colour coater version with extended delivery and board-handling capability from KBA.
The B1 (41-inch) press, which is scheduled for delivery to the Montevideo company in July, was ordered after Imprimex's owners, Horacio Rey and Alberto Lottermoser, had completed a tour of German printing plants and attended KBA Radebeul's pre-Drupa event in April.
Packaging accounts for 60 per cent of output at Imprimex, with the remaining 40 per cent comprising commercial print.
KBA said that the Rapida 105's flexibility was a key criterion in its selection by Imprimex.
The press had to be capable of printing on a range of substrates, from paper to heavy board, with no time-consuming conversions.
Another feature that appealed to Imprimex was the press's remote maintenance capability, which is claimed to provide uncomplicated assistance in the event of problems.
Imprimex was founded by the Lottermoser family in 1978 and today employs 180 staff working in three shifts at a 6,500 square metre (70,000 square feet) production plant.
The company, whose other presses are of German and Japanese manufacture, was awarded ISO 9000 accreditation.
Annual sales total US$10 million (EUR6.4m).
