NEWW is the first company on the East coast with this machine, offering customers unmatched, exceptional print quality with efficient, dependable production. “According to Steve MacDonald, Production Manager at NEWW, ‘We have been thoroughly impressed with the machine quality. Simply put – the machine is an engineer- ing marvel. From the 4-inch thick cast iron side frames, print quality, on-time installation, exceptional training and after installation support, we couldn’t be more pleased with our investment in the Kolbus RD115S. It’s allowed us to print jobs immediately, that took us years to perfect.’ “Along with offering their customers impeccable print quality, NEWW has benefitted from partnering with Kolbus in other ways. Not only was our delivery and installation completed on time, MacDonald said our service team has responded quickly to address NEWW’s initial questions and concerns with prompt support. “Service and support are natural concerns to consid- er when purchasing converting equipment, so Kolbus has addressed this by stocking an extensive inventory of spare parts at the Kalamazoo, Michigan, facility and offers same- day shipping to guarantee maximum uptime. Kolbus sup- ports customers by providing 24/7 support through their 360 Assist program and free technical support hotline.” Contact sales@kolbus.com or visit us online at www. Kolbusamerica.com .
