Countdown to drupa 2012 begins
After drupa, it’s time for drupa: fully in keeping with this motto, the drupa 2012 Committee met for its constitutive session in Düsseldorf on 23 September. The Committee unanimously voted Dipl.-Ing. Martin Weickenmeier, Member of the Executive Board, Körber AG, and CEO, Körber PaperLink GmbH, the new President of drupa. Dipl.-Ing. Albrecht Bolza-Schünemann, President of drupa in 2000, 2004 and 2008, did not wish to stand for re-election. Martin Weickenmeier symbolizes the continuity and consistent further development of drupa as the leading global fair for its sector. Since drupa 2004, the 54-year-old has already been Vice-President and Chairman of the Admissions Committee. “I am delighted to assume the presidency at such an exciting time. Our sector is developing at a rapid pace and drupa 2012 will once again be a key milestone”, Martin Weickenmeier said.

Read ArticleKBA gets orders worth over EUR200m at drupa
At the 83rd AGM of German press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA), group president and CEO Albrecht Bolza-Schünemann revealed that Drupa, a 14-day print media trade fair recently held in Düsseldorf, had brought in orders worth more than €200m, surpassing the figure for the previous Drupa in 2004. Most of the contracts were for batch-produced sheetfed presses, sales of which had been badly hit in the first five months by a slump in the key US market. Judging by the response to KBA’s product launches, post-Drupa business also promises to be brisk. The total volume of sales generated by the fair cannot be calculated with any degree of precision until the autumn, since financing for certain export markets must still be clarified, and this has become more complex and time-consuming in the wake of the credit crisis.

Read ArticleKBA optimises big perfectors for commercial applications
Four over four perfecting in large format has been available from KBA – and only from KBA – for some time. Now other press manufacturers have announced that they will also be unveiling large-format convertible perfectors at Drupa 2008. However, such systems are unlikely to attain market maturity or deliver commercial-standard quality in the immediate future, nor will they be available in the same wide choice of practice-proven configurations as the Rapidas. So KBA is making the most of its time gain to improve the operation, makeready and quality of its big perfectors for high-quality commercial applications.
