KBA to launch digital press with RR Donnelley imaging technology

KBA

  RR Donnelley & Sons Co. and Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) of Wurzburg, Germany, announce an agreement to develop, manufacture and sell next-generation piezoelectric digital inkjet printing solutions to the packaging, securities, commercial, and newspaper segments. Under the terms of the agreement, RR Donnelley will license its Apollo and other digital imaging technologies to KBA, which will incorporate them into its press offerings. KBA’s new digital press will be introduced in May 2012 at the Drupa international print show in Dusseldorf, Germany.

  “Seeking to expand the industry’s broadest product range, KBA has spent the last 18 months assessing both current and future digital printing technologies from around the world,” says Helge Hansen, CEO, KBA. “In our analysis, it was clear that RR Donnelley was uniquely positioned to partner with us from a digital print technology, experience, and scale perspective. It’s more than a sales and service agreement for existing technology. We look forward to jointly reinvigorating this industry with new digital imaging platforms.”

  “We look forward to having the combined R&D resources of nearly 1,000 engineers and imaging scientists bring forward the next generation of digital imaging technologies,” says Thomas J. Quinlan III, president and CEO, RR Donnelley. This relationship will benefit the customers we serve today and enable RR Donnelley innovations to be introduced to customers in segments that we do not yet address.”
