In the printing industry, preparation is everything. That’s why we were excited to welcome the team from MTL Carton to Radebeul recently. We sat down to clarify crucial process-engineering questions for the two new Rapida presses they ordered this past June – their first Rapida machines ever!

With delivery set for spring 2027, MTL Carton is taking their operations to the next level. Due to their dynamic growth, these machines will be installed in a brand-new, purpose-built location in Jonava, Lithuania. Building a new production site around state-of-the-art print technology is a massive undertaking, and we are proud to support their technical team every step of the way. These new Rapidas will be tasked with producing MTL's diverse portfolio, which includes high-quality packaging for frozen food, pharmaceuticals, to***co, beverages, luxury goods, and many more.

As announced last week, today is the day: We're sure you're also keen to get to know our new Managing Director in Barcelona, Sebastian Schaper, a little better.

We asked Sebastian three quick questions:
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗴 & 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀?
💬 "Committed, enthusiastic and full of promise! The team is excellently organised and brimming with positive energy. A project of the scale of the CutPRO Q 2.1 simply cannot be tackled without genuine passion, to give just one example. We’re taking this momentum to drive the site forward.”

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿?
💬 "My most important task is communication. That is how we will tackle future challenges together. Trust and a spirit of collaboration are simply essential, even across national borders."

𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗼𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗴 & 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?
💬 "Koenig & Bauer is recognised worldwide for German engineering excellence, international standing and technical innovation at the highest level. I am a mechanical engineer at heart and have learned the profession from the ground up. As a passionate engineer, being able to combine my home in Spain with this leadership role at Koenig & Bauer is a real dream come true!”

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear Sebastian. We look forward to continuing the success story of our Barcelona site together with you.

What a pleasure to recently host the entire staff of 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗼̈𝗲𝗿 at our Koenig & Bauer Customer Experience Center! For some team members, it was their very first time seeing a printing press factory live, and their enthusiasm was contagious.

The team enjoyed a comprehensive tour – exploring our offset solutions, die-cutters, and the digital VariJET 106. The half-format Rapida 76 and the large-format sheetfed offset Rapida 145 were clear crowd favorites, sparking intense technical discussions.

Thank you for visiting us!

A golden eagle can target its prey with razor-sharp accuracy from over three kilometres away. Its visual precision is absolutely unrivalled in the natural world. 🦅

Time for today’s wow fact: ‘Eagle eyes’ in a metaphorical sense ensure the highest precision in our Ipress family of flatbed die-cutters and the CutPRO Q 106.

Our innovative Cut2Print register system optically detects the 1.4 x 1.4 mm register marks printed on the print control strip or on the side edge of the sheet using 3 eagle eyes – um, cameras. Each individual sheet is then aligned with microscopic accuracy as it is transferred to the die-cutter's gripper system.

The result: the print image and die-cut align with pinpoint accuracy – for your perfectly die-cut folding cartons.

We wish you a relaxing rest of the summer and amazing views!

Counterfeiting ends where smart design begins. Curtis Packaging has officially become the first printer in the US to achieve cp3 certification from Koenig & Bauer Vision & Protection.

By integrating advanced Stegano technology inline during the prepress and printing process, hidden codes, logos, and security data are embedded directly into printed artwork or varnish without compromising the original packaging design. This invisible defense layer allows manufacturers, resellers, and end consumers to verify product authenticity instantly using a basic mobile application.

The technology safeguards luxury brands against counterfeiters, builds direct consumer trust, and brings complete transparency to complex supply chains.

At Koenig & Bauer, we are continuously pushing the boundaries of modern manufacturing. Our latest automation project at the Würzburg site demonstrates how intelligent robotics and smart pallet logistics are transforming component machining to achieve unprecedented efficiency and process stability.

By directly integrating a flexible industrial robot into the lathe's control system, we have optimised processes down to the finest detail. Interface complexity is reduced to a minimum, enabling our specialist team to intuitively operate the entire system from a central point.

The main highlights of this system at a glance:
✔️ A space-saving dual-pallet system holds up to 200 raw workpiece blanks in a stacked arrangement, enabling reliable, autonomous production runs well into the weekend
✔️ Modern optical light curtains ensure complete operational safety without restricting access or material flow using rigid protective fencing
✔️ Powerful automation frees up valuable time for our qualified team members. This allows multi-machine operation and boosts overall productivity in manufacturing

Investing in scalable, high-tech manufacturing isn't just about output – it's about building a resilient, future-proof production environment.

Which automation strategies are currently driving your manufacturing forward? Let us know in the comments!
