The training centre, which first opened in 2001, had been approaching full capacity, with over 1000 participants attending training courses at the centre each year.

The new extension includes a second press hall, with two new Rapida presses being installed: a five-colour Rapida 105 in a coater configuration and an eight-colour Rapida 106 perfector for 4-over-4 production.

“The training centre now boasts a fine equipment base,” said KBA president Albrecht Bolza-Schünemann. “Our coming task is to bring this new home to life.”
