KBA on Target With Nine-Month Figures

Even though sheetfed orders were up 10% on 2011 thanks to the tradeshow drupa, order intake of €826m failed to achieve last year’s record high of €1,155.7m boosted by several major orders for special presses. At €735.5m order backlog at the end of September saw a €171m increase on the corresponding figure for 2010, but failed to meet last year’s figure by €75m (2011: €810.8m).
