Druckerei Chmielorz investsTen-colour Rapida 106 for Wiesbaden
Druckerei Chmielorz from Wiesbaden, Germany, opted for a ten-colour Rapida 106 for 5-over-5 perfecting at drupa 2016. The press will be installed in the 4th quarter of this year and boasts a raft of technical highlights geared to efficient and high-performance print production. That includes a number of features unique to KBA, such as the sidelay-free infeed DriveTronic SIS, simultaneous plate changing with DriveTronic SPC, special accessory packages for lightweight stocks and high-speed production up to 18,000sph, and QualiTronic ColorControl for inline quality assurance.

To date, Druckerei Chmielorz has used press equipment from another manufacturer. The new investment is seen as necessary preparation for the technical challenges of the future, and as the key to further progress along the road of success. The company was founded in Berlin in 1938 and is today managed by the third generation of the owning family. It is a member of the ACM group with its seven trade publishing houses, more than 50 trade publications and 350 employees at six locations in Germany. Brochures, catalogues, magazines, almanacs, books, annual reports, business stationery, presentation media and the most varied advertising materials characterise the product portfolio of Druckerei Chmielorz.
