KBA Wins Order for Four Web Presses from Transcontinental

Brian Reid, President Print Sector Transcontinental, says: “We were won over by the first-class technical support KBA provided throughout the entire planning period, and by the innovative solutions they offered. Although the Daily News in New York can lay claim to the first triple-wide Commander CT installation in North America, we’ll be the first print operation worldwide with multiple press lines printing hybrid coldset/heatset products or coldset newspapers alongside heatset commercials. And with these innovative compact presses, we’ll be doing it more cost effectively than was previously considered possible. In addition to the Commander CT’s raft of winning features for reducing operational and maintenance input, what impressed us most was the enormous flexibility displayed in customizing the press for our specific needs.”
