In his editorial, president and CEO Claus Bolza-Schünemann points to an exceptionally pleasing order intake and numerous installations of press and machinery solutions from the broad Koenig & Bauer product portfolio. In addition, the newly designed CorruCUT flexo press – an outcome of intensive cooperation with development partner Klingele – has successfully completed its factory acceptance testing. “This press will enable us to further consolidate our strong position in the growing packaging market,” says Claus Bolza-Schünemann.
Koenig & Bauer Report also devotes particular attention to the processes of digital transformation in the industry. With a series of open house events for commercial and packaging printers in May of this year, Koenig & Bauer demonstrated yet again how it is integrating innovative digital applications into press engineering and the associated services.
Ongoing technology developments at Koenig & Bauer provide a basis for continuous improvement of its products – with solutions to raise the anti-counterfeiting security of banknotes, for example. The current issue of the magazine recalls the world premiere of “SUSI FLIPTM”: The new Solomon Island five-dollar banknote is the first circulating note to use an advanced UV phosphorescence feature which combines high security with striking effects.
