Congratulations to Gem Gravure Representatives at Interpack 2014
Six companies belonging to the KBA Group shared KBA-Metronic’s stand for the first time at interpack 2014. Together they presented their individual printing solutions for the extremely diverse packaging market

For the first time, six companies including KBA-Metronic joined together to represent Koenig & Bauer Group at Interpack 2014 to display their extremely diverse printing solutions. Thank you to Gem Gravure representatives Paul Gemelli, Jon Jensen, and Mike Prasad for representing Gem Gravure, KBA-Metronic’s exclusive North American reseller. The Gem team had an opportunity to learn about new offering from the KBA group, as well as greet visitors from the US and Canada.  

Many visitors from Germany and abroad, who had previously only worked with one company in the press manufacturing group, were amazed by the breadth of the range on offer for the extremely diverse packaging market. Analogue and digital coding technology from KBA-Metronic, UV film and card printing from KBA-MePrint, full-colour metal decorating from KBA-MetalPrint, folding carton and corrugated printing from KBA Radebeul, digital decorative and industrial printing from KBA Würzburg, printing systems for flexible packaging from KBA-Flexotecnica, and finally direct decoration of glass and hollow containers from KBA-Kammann – the high-quality product samples on show from each segment were all received with great interest. KBA staff from the various companies were on hand to discuss possible combination solutions and a lot of new ties with representatives from the packaging industry the world over were established.

This first joint trade show presence at interpack also encouraged the KBA companies involved to exchange ideas. According to the old saying “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, in the future greater advantage will be taken of possible potential for synergies arising from different technologies for packaging printing as well as the transfer of know-how will increase between the different sites. This much is already clear today: The companies belonging to the KBA Group which target packaging printers will be present together again at interpack 2017 with a raft of innovative packaging solutions.
