KBA’s Frankenthal Press Plant Celebrating Its 150th Jubilee

In 1982 the 110 employees were relocated to bigger premises. When screen-printing presses were discontinued at the end of 1982 the spare manufacturing capacity was used to produce automatic reelstands for a new partner, Koenig & Bauer. Components for web presses and gravure proofing presses were added later. Albert continued to churn out milestone technology in the shape of its internationally successful single-width A 200 newspaper press, double-width A 500 and eight-page A 101, to name but a few.
