Beyer Graphics announced it is investing $8.4 million to add two new 41" KBA Rapida 106 UV presses to its inventory—an eight-color plus coater and a specially-configured nine-color press that is one of only a few in the United States. This large capital investment is the firm’s first partnership with KBA.

Based in Fort Worth, Texas, 4 Color Press (4CP) has been an early adopter of Heidelberg’s Anicolor technology. Most recently, the company added its second Anicolor machine, a Speedmaster XL 75 -5+L. 4CP is on track to triple its business in the next two years. According to 4CP’s owners Andrew and Lisa Fuld, the company had outgrown the Speedmaster SM 52 Anicolor it acquired in 2007, logging more than 103 million impressions on the machine in seven years.

Displaying growing market share among 10 different market segments, KBA will emphasize solutions and new opportunities at GRAPH EXPO.

The RYOBI MHI 925 LED-UV Press has received the prestigious Must See ‘Ems award in connection with GRAPH EXPO 15.

All Packaging has set up a timer to count down the days until it receives its new KBA press at its Salt Lake City facility.

In the second quarter of 2015 Koenig & Bauer (KBA) came significantly closer to achieving its target of positive results in all business segments. At €607.5m, its order intake was up 33.2 percent year over year. The company believes that positive results in all business areas are within reach. President and CEO Claus Bolza-Schünemann stated, "Group profit before taxes of €6.9m in the second quarter led to an improvement in our EBT from –€17.7m after three months to –€10.8m mid-year. We are particularly pleased with the major improvements in earnings in Sheetfed and Digital and Web. Despite this half-time shortfall, with catching-up in mind we continue to target an EBT margin of up to 2 percent of sales for 2015."

Push Solutions and Paducah Printing each announced their purchases of a RYOBI MHI 925D LED-UV press at the Commit to Print Open House.

A five-color Speedmaster CD 102 with coater and extended delivery has been installed at Keno Graphic Services in Shelton, Connecticut.

NEPA Carton and Carrier Company, a one-stop source for beverage carriers and cartons located in Moosic, Pennsylvania, has installed a new six-color, 57" KBA Rapida 145 large-format press to provide additional speed, color control, and turnaround to its nationwide customers.
