KBA’s Frankenthal Press Plant Celebrating Its 150th Jubilee

Tradition unites
Good times and bad are a common thread in the 150-year history of KBA’s Frankenthal plant, the 194-year history of the parent in Würzburg and the 113-year history of its sheetfed operation in Radebeul. People in Frankenthal proudly speak of “Albert” just as those in Würzburg say “Koebau” and in Radebeul “Planeta” when referring to their local press factory. In some cases, three or four generations of the same family have worked for these companies, which share common roots: their union in the KBA group over the past 30 years has created the world’s second-largest press manufacturer. Frankenthal staff have made a major contribution.
