Koenig & Bauer, Durst Commit To Further Capabilities In Joint Venture Würzburg, Germany based Koenig & Bauer and Durst Group have committed to build further R&D capability in the joint venture company they set up almost five years ago to capitalize on the significant opportunities in folding carton and corrugated segments. The parent companies of Koenig & Bauer Durst GmbH will expand its operations in Radebeul, Germany. Koenig & Bauer Durst is a global market leader of sin- gle pass digital sheet-fed press systems and software services for the folding carton and corrugated industry. It leverages the capabilities and know-how of its parent companies to offer an un- rivalled portfolio of digital printing machinery that includes the Cor- ruJET and Delta SPC 130 systems for corrugated markets, as well the jointly developed VariJET 106 press for folding carton markets. All presses use water-based food-safe inks & coatings that comply with all regulatory requirements. Robert Stabler, who has run the joint venture company since its inception, will stand down as Managing Director. He will be succeeded by Daniel Velema, who will join Koe- nig & Bauer Durst in February 2024. Velema has extensive domain experience in the print- ing industry and managing consultancy and has held var- ious senior level management positions.

In the long term, this leads to signif- icant cost reductions. Koenig & Bauer Durst’s machinery, software and services offering is well positioned to sup- port and accelerate our customers’ journey and I look forward to working together with our customers, partners and suppliers.” Christoph Gamper, CEO and Co-owner of the Durst Group, said they are looking forward to welcoming Daniel to Koenig & Bauer Durst to drive the company forward to the next stages of development. “We see a huge opportunity to grow substantially over the next few years,” Gamper said. “Solid foundations have been laid with the success- ful launch of the VariJET 106 press, the most productive CONTINUED ON PAGE 36 Daniel Velema
