A group of nearly 20 representatives from the German printing organisation known as VDMB (Verband Druck- und Medien Bayern), which had been on a week-long trip travelling to the Silicon Valley of California visiting progressive firms both in and outside the print industry, spent half a day on Thursday May 9 at Everett Graphics, a leading northern California folding carton printer headquartered in Oakland, CA.
The group, comprised of owners and CEOs of Bavarian printing firms, witnessed an enlightening tour of Everett’s duo of highly-automated enhanced performance Koenig & Bauer presses – a Rapida 106 and Rapida 145 large format press in action. Whit Everett, President and CEO of Everett Graphics, welcomed the group to his 82,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, along with Marcus Schoen, Koenig & Bauer (US) Sales Manager.
Everett has consistently geared its business strategy towards pro-environmental printing through its choice of substrates, its production technology and its social responsibility towards its customers and its region. Schoen discussed the capabilities and products produced by Everett while providing a press demo for the group. The newest Rapida 145 press allows Everett to run E and F-flute materials at higher speeds than ever and gives them the ability to print high quality, offset work, directly onto micro-flute substrates in large format. The meeting ended with a light lunch for the entire group.
