Latin American printers on KBA tour in Germany

As in past years, around 60 print professionals from Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, Cuba, Mexico and Peru recently flew over to Germany in two groups for visits to the KBA sheetfed offset manufacturing facility in Radebeul and to German users of Rapida sheetfed offset presses. The first one-week tour at the beginning of April was geared specifically to packaging printers, while a second in mid-April targeted representatives of commercial printing companies.

The packaging printers were first invited to press demonstrations in the KBA customer and training centre, where they were introduced to a five-colour Rapida 105 with inline coater, a Rapida 106 with double coating and cold foil module, and a large-format Rapida 145. They were subsequently able to experience both medium- and large-format Rapida presses in a variety of configurations for inline finishing in actual production at the rlc packaging group in Rüdersdorf near Berlin and at Kroha in Barleben.
