RR Donnelley and KBA have agreed to develop, manufacture and sell next generation piezoelectric digital inkjet printing systems to the packaging and other markets. RR Donnelley will license its Apollo and other digital imaging technologies to KBA, who will incorporate them into its presses.
A new digital press will be introduced by the German manufacturer at Drupa in May 2012.
Helge Hansen, CEO of KBA, comments: “KBA has spent the last 18 months assessing both current and future digital printing technologies from around the world. In our analysis, it was clear that RR Donnelley was uniquely positioned to partner with us from a digital print technology, experience, and scale perspective. It’s more than a sales and service agreement for existing technology. We look forward to jointly reinvigorating this industry with new digital imaging platforms.”
