“We’re very excited to get the press,” says Kerry Brown, Vice President of Operations at Curtis. “As we continue to attract high-end globally recognized brand retailers, the new Rapida is going to more efficiently support those customers who require exquisite products of outstanding beauty and enduring value by utilizing the Rapida’s top-of-the-line color management technology and high-speed production capabilities. “It will complement our current Koenig & Bauer Rapi- da 106 41-inch workflow that has the same software and similar capabilities except our newest press will be able to drive a lot more volume through its large format size.” Brown said the new Rapida will allow Curtis to lower its energy consumption due to the Rapida’s new technology that reduces waste and its improved color management. Curtis Packaging has partnered with Koenig & Bauer for the past 30 years and collaborates with them to design unique press models to build products for its customers. “This investment demonstrates our commitment to support our current and future packaging needs with the highest level of technology,” says Brown.
