At the beginning of January, Jürgen Frischmann, managing director of Frischmann Druck und Medien, visited Koenig & Bauer to learn more about the assembly status of his five-color Rapida 106 press with coater. It will be delivered to the family-run business in Amberg, Germany in March, and will also be the company’s first Koenig & Bauer sheetfed offset press in its 50-year history.
With state-of-the-art automation solutions, printing speeds of up to 18,000 sheets per hour and short makeready times, the medium-format system replaces an aging predecessor. The new press is expected to enhance productivity at Frischmann, especially seeing as the pressroom is already running at maximum capacity in three shifts.
“The Rapida 106 will make us more flexible during peak production periods and streamline our processes,” said Frischmann.
Frischmann’s father founded the company in a disused mine building in 1968. The two-man business gradually developed into a print service provider with 6,000 square meters of production space and 80 employees. In 2016, Jürgen Frischmann took over sole management of the company. Five years before that, his son Uli joined the company as general manager. Frischmann Druck und Medien celebrated its 50th jubilee in 2018.
