KBA Profits from Strong Standing in Niche Markets

Targeted reduction in group payroll to 6,000
At the end of September there were 6,446 employees on the group payroll, just a few more than in 2010 even though three subsidiaries were consolidated in January. Once the capacity adjustments at KBA’s web press plants have been completed the group will have a payroll of around 6,000. A new intake of apprentices and student trainees in the autumn raised their number from 419 to 433, and the training ratio from 6.5 percent to 6.7 percent.
