IVE ORDERS FOUR KOENIG & BAUER PRESSES

The press order for the quartet of Rapida 106 Xs is the biggest Koenig & Bauer has ever taken in Australia and New Zealand, and comes as one of several orders for new presses the company has taken recently. They include the Rapida 106 X that will go into Blue Star’s new integrated production facility in Auckland, and the B2 Rapida 76 that has been installed at United Print & Packaging in Sydney.

Graham Harris, the new managing director of Koenig & Bauer AU/NZ said, “The trust that IVE Group has placed in our Rapida 106X technology speaks volumes about the unmatched quality and performance of our presses.”

Details of the exact specifications of the new Koenig & Bauers, and where in IVE's operations they will be located, remain confidential, underscoring, says Koenig & Bauer, the significance of this investment in response to the surging demand for high quality printing solutions.

Rayne Simpson, newly appointed sales manager at Koenig & Bauer AU/NZ, highlighted the features of the Rapida 106 X. He said, “This next-generation press is pioneering the future of industrial printing, offering significant advantages in economy and efficiency.

“Whether in commercial, packaging, or label printing, the Rapida 106 X sets a new standard for sheetfed offset.”

Simpson is part of the new-look management team at Koenig & Bauer AU/NZ, with Harris, formerly service director, taking over as managing director following the retirement of previous incumbent Dave Lewis, and Simpson rejoining the industry for his new role.
