First stop for the group was the KBA headquarters Customer Center, where attendees learned about the benefits of KBA 41˝ perfectors and Rapida large-format presses. The trip included a guided tour through the assembly halls, as well as demonstrations at KBA’s R&D facility in Radebeul, outside of Dresden. After demonstrations on KBA’s 41˝ and 56˝ presses, the group saw firsthand the manufacturer’s unique method of individually building presses for each of its customers, then shipping the units, and having the same German press crew rebuild the press at the customer’s site. Participants learned how KBA builds its perfector presses and saw a couple of long perfector presses, including special configurations with coaters on each end, being test-printed and prepared for shipping.
