KBA Continues to Invest in Package Printing Segment

To continue this dominance, KBA also unveiled its new Varius 80 modular, variable-format web offset press designed for the flexible packaging market at Drupa. It implements the same waterless technology as the 20˝ KBA Genius 52UV, with short-train inking units and UV drying. This combination achieves excellent print quality on flexible, non-absorbent substrates with very low start-up waste. KBA also announced earlier this year to expand into the flexible packaging market and its intent to acquire Flexotecnica in Italy. This acquisition will allow KBA to expand its strong market position in the folding carton market into an additional growing packaging segment.
