The fifth continent is a growing market for KBA, which has been able to install numerous sheetfed and web presses in the last few years and expand its market position. Amcor Australia, for instance, has opted for a six-colour Rapida 142 with coater and delivery extension, a six-colour Rapida 105 is heading for Queensland in May, and a Rapida 105 universal in the five-colour version with additional coating equipment was recently delivered to Vega Colour in Melbourne.
In the medium-format segment, following the spectacular 40-metre Rapida 142 with inline finishing at Anzpac in Sydney, packaging producer Glama-Pak in Melbourne has since March been enjoying the benefits of a second large-format press, a Rapida 142.
