11/13/2013 MBO and KBA Distribution Partnership In May of 2013 MBO and KBA announced an international distribution partnership and in August the two companies shared a booth at the Pack Print International exhibition in Thailand. This shared booth space was a sign of more good things to come for the two organizations as the partnership would be extended beyond the exhibition floor. The collaboration between KBA and MBO can already be seen at the KBA offset press facility in Radebeul where an M80 folding machine from MBO is on display in their showroom for live customer demonstrations and hands‐on training. MBO experts have provided extensive training to the KBA sales personnel in order that they would be able to offer a complete product line to their customers. With this partnership, KBA will be the exclusive distributer and service provider of MBO machines for select countries across Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa. This agreement expands the market reach of MBO into new territories and increases the global network of MBO distributors. KBA and MBO will share a booth once again at the upcoming Pamex exhibition in India, where they will be demonstrating the KBA Rapida sheetfed offset press, the brand new M80 Flexible Folding System from MBO, and two lines from Herzog + Heymann.
