KBA Sees Successful drupa Boosts Its Business in the Second Half-Year

While the positive impact of Drupa on order intake and sales will not work through to the bottom line for some weeks or even months, preliminary figures for KBA’s sheetfed offset division show that the volume of new orders booked to the end of May approached €300 million, up roughly 12 percent on 2011. However, orders for web and special presses totaled approximately €190 million, a big drop on the prior-year figure of more than €335 million, which had been boosted by some major contracts.
