Canada-based Jones Healthcare Group has placed an order for a seven-color Koenig & Bauer press, as part of its continued investment in business innovation, substantially increasing its current production capacity, flexibility, and efficiency.
Responding to an unprecedented increase in carton volumes over the past year, and a corporately embedded focus on continuous improvement, the new press will further enhance the company’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service in the market and will be operational by July. This investment provides a dual purpose: it will contribute to maintaining the utmost level of quality while also fully aligning with the company’s growth strategy.
“This marks our second investment in a litho press from Koenig & Bauer within the past four years,” said Ron Harris, President & CEO, Jones Healthcare Group. “We’ve been highly satisfied with the performance and additional capabilities offered by our previous investment. By adding another Koenig & Bauer press to our lineup, we not only expand our capacity but also enhance our ability to adapt to the diverse needs of our customers.”
“Jones Healthcare Group and Koenig & Bauer have a long-standing relationship that includes future R & D developments so that Jones always has the latest technology. For many years, we’ve had a special partnership with Jones that includes several strategic initiatives so that they remain the leading producer of folding cartons in the industry,” says Ralf Sammeck, CEO, Koenig & Bauer Sheetfed. “At Koenig & Bauer, we deeply value our partnership with Jones and congratulate them on this latest investment.”
