Motivating Graphics Set to Start Up 64˝ KBA Rapida 162 Press

The new KBA Rapida 162 joins two additional KBA presses: a five-year-old Rapida 105 41˝ sheetfed press and a five-month-old Rapida 142 56˝ eight-color sheetfed press along with two web offset presses.

Clark and his management team have positioned the firm to take advantage of the current economy and capture new business in the future. Motivating operates three facilities in Central and South America: two plants in Reynosa and Guadalajara, Mexico; and a facility in Brazil. “Our offshore printing business has been strong,” he says, “while the U.S. market for the past two years has been soft. But we’re seeing a slow gradual pick-up within the U.S. market and we’re very well positioned. Our new KBA Rapida 162 64-inch press is a necessity for us.”
