Newly appointed Koenig & Bauer managing director, Graham Harris, has confirmed the Australian subsidiary requires additional staff after several successful press orders.
“This year has seen a rise in interest in the latest in press technology from Koenig & Bauer,” Harris told Sprinter.
“As a result of the recent installations as well new orders scheduled for installation in late 2024 and into 2025, we are looking to expand our support team in Australia and New Zealand. We are looking for electrical and mechanical engineers to join the Koenig & Bauer team.
“The benefit of working for Koenig & Bauer Australia is that you are working directly for the manufacturer and not for an agency or distributor.
“All engineers will receive full factory training in Germany where we have a state of art customer experience and training facility with presses that are solely available for customer print demonstrations, print tests, operator training and training of service and support staff.”
Earlier this year, Koenig & Bauer managing director Dave Lewis announced his retirement and was replaced by Graham Harris in May who has worked alongside Lewis for two decades as service manager.
Rayne Simpson recently joined Koenig & Bauer as Sales Manager for Australia and New Zealand. Simpson has over 30 years of industry experience including 13 years with CPI, seven years with Sicpa Graphics, and five years with Ferrostaal.
Simpson added, “Koenig & Bauer Australia thank our customers for believing in Koenig & Bauer’s technology, innovation and support. It’s the driving force behind our commitment to delivering quality and speed for our customers and their clients”.
Here is how Koenig & Bauer is leading the way:
“The mission for the new Rapida generation presses was simple: to develop the most efficient and sophisticated 740 x 1,060 mm sheetfed offset press ever built by Koenig & Bauer,” Harris said.
“The result is the new performance benchmark in industrial printing: the Rapida 106 X. It fulfils the highest demands in automation and productivity and is a pioneer in the industry when it comes to digitalisation.”
