For the first time, KBA-Metronic was represented by its Scandinavian dealer, Schneidler Grafiska AB from Sweden. In a very attractive atmosphere many visitors enjoyed the absolutely highlight of the exhibition - Genius 52UV. The UV offset printing machine with waterless and keyless short inking units in the 36 x 52 cm format was simply an eye-catcher. The different applications on varied substrates were demonstrated to the interested audience. The displayed Genius 52UV had the optional varnishing unit for high gloss surfaces.

“Delectable, yes – of course – but sushi has to be so much more,” says Kim Rahbek Hansen, CEO of Denmark’s Sticks ’n’ Sushi chain. “It has to appeal as much to the eye as to the palate. We want our restaurant to have a fun, festive feeling, and that means we need professional staff, people who whistle while they work. Our concept is a positively designed overall experience that encompasses every detail: the premises, the dishes, the menus and – for takeaway – the packaging. That’s our recipe for success.”
