MachineSeeker<\/a> is a website well known in second hand printing machinery. We, as well as thousands of other competitors, get several demands every day by this website.
\nThe German company AWG (Alles Werde Gut to be translated as everything will become all right), run by two brothers, was looking for a so called \u201clong perfector\u201d in the size B2. They were convinced that, in case they wanted to continue the business in a competitive market of \u201cAkzidens Druck\u201d printing a sheet of paper on both sides in one pass, is the only way for the future.<\/p>\nWe took contact, made an appointment, went for 350 km. by car to have a first meeting and we could find out that this was the customer for our KBA 74-10. The only printing press they had was a KBA 74-5 from the same generations connected with the service support line from KBA Germany in case of problems. The space was just enough to install this type of press, 10 colors instead of 8 makes it possible to use a kind of coating for fast and therefore effective production as this was the main reason to invest. Soon after AWG and Mekes NL could find the trust in each other and we signed the contract. Integrated was the take-over from the 5 color but only when the 10 color was in a reliable production mode.<\/p>\n
Still running production in Ireland, the press was checked by a local, so called KBA specialist, engineer. In the checklist and the technical report only a small list of issues were noted to take care of.<\/p>\n
It took us almost one year before we could get the 10 color in the condition as agreed with the buyer AWG. We had to spent 165.000 Euro for the total technical process and dismantling, cleaning, checking, transport, new rollers and installation but even without changing perfect jackets \u2013 one set for one printing unit at KBA was offered to us for 15.000 Euro knowing we should needed 5 \u2013 and without the reconditioning from the perfecting system.<\/p>\n
As the mentioned technical budget was not pre-calculated, we have lost approximately 20.000 Euro on this project but we agreed with the buyer to do a good job.<\/p>\n
AWG \u201cAlles Werde Gut\u201d\u2026, but it took some time, it has costs us \u2018some\u2019 money. We hope to arrive at a break-even when selling the trade-in machine color. However, until today we could not manage.<\/p>\n
We learned a lot, we had some unexpected technical issues, the service-line with KBA as extended by our buyer is not solving all problems, the manufacturer is offering spare parts for prices you never expect\u2026.but our customer is happy.<\/p>\n
We hope next time to make a better and a profitable project.<\/p>\n
