Christoph Müller, managing director of KBA-Digital & Web Solutions AG & Co. KG — based at the KBA headquarters in Würzburg, Germany — and a member of the group management, has taken on additional responsibility as managing director for KBA-Flexotecnica, effective Jan. 4, 2017. Claudio Bisogni, who led the company with great dedication before and after the acquisition by Koenig & Bauer in December 2013, left the company at the end of 2016 to continue the pursuit of his personal career roadmap.

The management change at KBA-Flexotecnica S.p.A. is expected to intensify cooperation between the locations and will simplify access to technical and human resources at the main production facility in Würzburg. In the coming year, Koenig & Bauer plans to open a demo center at its Würzburg main location. Exploiting the convenient transport links to Frankfurt Airport as a key hub for international business travelers, this will provide modern opportunities for the presentation of both the technically outstanding flexo web presses from Tavazzano and other product lines. As demand continues to increase, the allocation of additional facilities for assembly of the CI flexo presses designed in Italy is a further option.
