K-1 Packaging Group Adds New Technology From Esko

Until 2003, all of K-1's printing presses were purchased second-hand. That year, K-1 purchased its first brand-spanking new KBA Rapida 105. "It was a historical moment for us," says Tsai. "When it was being installed, my father and uncle, K-1's original founders, were quite emotional about it. The press cost over $2 million and years before, they had wondered whether they would see the day before their retirement that the company could afford a new printing press. And there it was, happening in front of their eyes."
