Kyocera is, of course, a well-known name in the printing industry - but being a supplier of sheet-fed inkjet presses is relatively new. In this film, Marcel Ebbenhorst from Kyocera talks about the TASKalfa 15000 printer and why this is something a printing company should be looking into. The film was made as part of our Learn With Us Inkjet event, so recorded remotely - but still really interesting - dig in!

So it's about time we did a nice interview in Dutch. Meet André Hilkens, Manager of Komfi Europe. Komfi connects management ensures integration options with the most known printer providers and that you can work future-proof with an investment in your lamination solution. The well-known slogan also applies here: to measure is to know the costs must be transparent and can be called up at any time, including post-processing. Veel Nederlandstalige mensen onder de specialisten, bezoekers en aanbieders van oplossingen aanwezig op HID 23 in Zwitserland. Hoog tijd dus dat we in het Nederlands een leuk interview brengen. Maak kennis met André Hilkens, Manager van Komfi Europe. Komfi connect management verzekert de integratiemogelijkheden met de meeste gekende printeraanbieders en zorgt ervoor dat je futureproof kan werken met een investering in een eigen laminatieoplossing.

Komfi is a well-known and 100% family-owned business in the Lamination & UV coating space.

Based in the Cech republic and serving customers' demand globally, they are showing some novelties like the laminator with dual processing units, the normal lamination, and the one for structuring the surface by embossing using a special roller applying surface effects on demand. Jana Slováková shares how Komfi was and can deal with the worldwide shortages of materials and how they delivered on promises in the last couple of years. Financial stability and stock production have been key.

No question that the COVID-19 has influenced all companies in the global printing industry, but Koenig & Bauer has, despite a lower order intake, a strong belief in the future. In this Conversation, Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed CEO, Ralf Sammeck, shares his views on where he sees his company in the future.

Koenig & Bauer has a strong market position in France, and with the company's continuing focus on both digital and VLF, CEO Frederic Pambianchi is happy with the development. The partnership with Durst on the folding carton and a strong focus on the company's developed Rotajet has many advantages. Pambianchi explains how the partnerships allow interesting conversations with converters and PSPs - a nice interesting insight into the Koenig & Bauer world and something to learn from. We did two interviews with Pambianchi, one in English and the second in French - soon to be online.

German language / German and English subtitles “Ich erinnere mich an die schönen Zeiten, als ich als Kind in der Druckerei gespielt habe”, sagt Silvia Onkel - CEO Offsetdruck Ockel. Als es Zeit für die nächste Generation war, wussten meine Eltern immer, dass sie hofften, mein Bruder und ich würden die gleiche Begeisterung für den Druck empfinden, wie sie es taten, und heute liebt Silvia Ockel den Druck. Und das sieht man. Offsetdruck Ockel produziert jedes Jahr einen Kalender, und der Kalender dieses Jahres ist nicht nur schön gestaltet und gedruckt, sondern verwendet auch Bilder von einer anderen Leidenschaft von Silvia Ockel – nämlich Afrika. Treue Kunden und ein starker Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit sind einige der Erfolgsfaktoren, aber auch Investitionen in Technologie, die für die Ockels wichtig sind, konzentrieren sich auf eine neue Koenig & Bauer 5-farben Rapida 106, aber auch auf Bindegeräte von Müller Martini, MBO, Stahl und anderen. Offsetdruck Ockel liefert hohe Qualität und hat viele Kunden in der Flugzeugindustrie, was dem Unternehmen direkten Zugang zu Lieferungen am Flughafen verschafft hat – was es sowohl für die Kunden als auch für Offsetdruck Ockel bequem macht. In den kommenden Wochen werden wir Sie auf eine Tour mit anderen Druckunternehmen mitnehmen – von verschiedenen Größen und Typen, um Ihnen die Vielfalt der Druckindustrie in Deutschland heutzutage zu zeigen. Koenig & Bauer hat das Projekt gesponsert, hat sich aber nicht in den Inhalt, die Fragen oder sonstiges eingemischt. Sie haben uns bei INKISH geholfen, die Fragezeichen im Film in korrektes Deutsch zu korrigieren. Bis bald zur nächsten Geschichte! "I remember the good times I played in the printing plant as a child." When it was time for the next generation, I know my parents always hoped that me and my brother would have the same emotions for print as they did, and today, Silvia Ockel loves print. And you see it. Offsetdruck Ockel produces a calendar every year, and this year's calendar is not just designed and printed beautifully but uses images from another passion Silvia Ockel has - namely, Africa. Loyal customers and a strong focus on sustainability are a few of the parameters of success, but also investing in technology, that for Ockels matter is centered around a new Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106X but also binding equipment from Müller Martini, Stahl, and others. Offsetdruck Ockel delivers high quality and has many customers in the airline industry, which has given the company direct access to deliveries in the airport - making it convenient for both the customers and for Offsetdruck Ockel. In the following weeks, we will take you on a tour with other printing companies - of different sizes and types to show you the diversity of the printing industry in Germany these days. Koenig & Bauer has sponsored the project but has not interfered with the content, questions, or anything else. They have helped us at INKISH to correct the question signs in the film into proper German. See you soon for the next story!"

Rosebrock ist eine Druckerei, die sich auf den Etikettendruck spezialisiert hat. Im Film erklärt Lars Rosebrock, warum sie von einem 5-Farben- zu einem 6-Farben-Druck gewechselt haben und wie die höheren Energiepreise die Entscheidung beeinflusst haben.

Subtitles in English available The Inkish@Work road tour through Germany in August 2020 initially led to Radebeul not far from Dresden. The development of printing technology has had an outstanding tradition in the region for a long time, especially due to the proximity of the book publishing and trade fair city of Leipzig. Ralf Sammeck, CEO of Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed and as a board member at the same time Chief Digital Officer of Koenig & Bauer AG, answered questions from Andreas Weber, CEO INKISH D-A-CH. The conversation clearly showed how you can be well prepared even in times of Corona if you follow a smart, future-oriented plan over the years, react flexibly to changes, focus on customer benefits and cultivate a great team spirit . Ralf Sammeck made clear the benefits that can be drawn from digitalization for print. Not only with regard to the printing machines, but above all also the software / workflows, the services and the communication with customers around the globe. And how to successfully bring customers closer to their needs according to innovations and production scenarios in a new form. The result: With its rich tradition, Koenig & Bauer now seems to be very relaxed in the fast lane. And continues it’s successful strategy to achieve success even in times of crisis. // Die Inkish@Work Road-Tour durch Deutschland im August 2020 führte zunächst nach Radebeul unweit von Dresden.

Ralf Sammeck machte anschaulich, welcher Nutzen für Print aus der Digitalisierung gezogen werden kann. Nicht nur bezüglich der Druckmaschinen, sondern vor allem auch der Software/Workflows, den Services und der Kommunikation mit den Kunden rund um den Globus. Und wie man in neuer Form Kunden ihren Bedürfnissen gemäß Neuheiten und Produktionsszenarien erfolgreich näher bringen kann. Das Ergebnis: Das Traditionsunternehmen Koenig & Bauer scheint sehr entspannt auf der Überholspur zu sein. Und verzeichnet durch die Fortführung seiner erfolgreichen Strategie auch in Krisenzeiten weiterhin Erfolge.

Somewhere in the always surprisingly huge Los Angeles, you'll find Ultimate Paperbox, a company specializing in packaging. The owner Janak Patel has been in the industry for years and has built a growing packaging printing company. In this film, we talk to him about his relationship with Koenig & Bauer. Besides going way back with the German manufacturer, Patel is still very focused on what they do now - and has invested in folding/gluer from Koenig & Bauer Iberica - and listening to Patel, we wouldn't be surprised to also see a Koenig & Bauer Durst Varijet at some point at the site. In the meanwhile - enjoy!
