A group of nearly 20 representatives from the German printing organization known as VDMB (Verband Druck- und Medien Bayern), which has been on a week-long trip traveling 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 41-inch and Rapida 145 57-inch 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.
