    31.08.2015 – Seit 24. August bildet die Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) zwei Asylbewerber pakistanischer Herkunft im Werk Radebeul bei Dresden zu Mechatronikern aus. Dreieinhalb Jahre wird ihre Berufsausbildung dauern. Nach den negativen Schlagzeilen aus einigen sächsischen Städten will der Druckmaschinenhersteller, der rund 85 Prozent seiner Produkte ins Ausland exportiert und dessen Techniker in anderen Ländern stets willkommen sind, einen konkreten Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Situation von Flüchtlingen leisten und aktiv zu ihrer Integration beitragen. Ralf Sammeck, Mitglied der Konzernleitung von KBA und Geschäftsführer von KBA-Sheetfed Solutions: „Es ist für unser international tätiges Unternehmen in der derzeitigen Situation Pflicht, ein Zeichen für eine bessere Willkommenskultur zu setzen.“ KBA ist damit das erste Unternehmen innerhalb des Unternehmensverbandes der Metall- und Elektroindustrie Sachsen (Sachsenmetall) und eines der wenigen in Deutschland, das Asylbewerbern eine Ausbildungsmöglichkeit anbietet.

  • KBA remains market leader for high-performance newspaper presses
    2015-09-02 13:04
    02.09.2015 – Given the drastic contraction of the world market for new web press installations over the past years, there is no great meaning behind the market share figures which some manufacturers currently feature prominently in their marketing statements, especially where they relate to a limited period of just a few months or even a single year. In times of extreme reluctance to invest, one or two press orders are often already sufficient to secure a misleadingly larger share of the cake. Such snapshots generally say little about a manufacturer's longer-term technological standing on the market. A much more revealing indicator is the number of new presses delivered over a span of several years. Read more ...

  • UPM reaches one hundred years of stock exchange listing
    2015-09-01 12:34
    (UPM, Helsinki, 1 September 2015) – UPM’s journey at the stock market started one hundred years ago. UPM's predecessor companies Aktiebolaget Walkiakoski and Kymmene Ab were listed on the Helsinki Stock Exchange in August-September 1915. The listing is a significant example of Finnish industrialisation and economic growth as the First World War created a boom for the Finnish industry. Forest industry companies wanted to grow quickly and get additional funding for investments. Many significant Finnish forest industry companies such as Kymi, United Paper Mills, Kaukas, Kajaani, Schauman, Rosenlew, Raf. Haarla and Rauma-Repola have been merged into the UPM Group along the years. Read more ...
  • Germans and German-language media in the U.S.A.
    2015-09-01 09:06
    01.09.2015 – Germans make up the United States’ biggest ethnic group: around 50 million people indicated German ancestry in the country’s last census – 6 million more than in the last study. The increase has not resulted, however, from increased immigration. Long established German-Americans have simply made themselves more aware of family history.
