Dr Andreas Pleßke
CEO Koenig & Bauer

As expected, the first day at drupa was very active. Our packaging workflow show in particular attracted an impressive number of visitors. It was a successful start and one of many highlights were the many enthusiastic people – employees and visitors – who met you with a smile at the Koenig & Bauer stand.

Leon Heidingsfelder (Purchasing Controlling) and Julian Roßhirt (HR Development)

The size of drupa and the Koenig & Bauer stand are very impressive. At the same time, you can sense a familiar atmosphere and can not only see the machines in action, but also find out about the latest trends.

Marten Lucas (Digital Operations)

The positive feedback from visitors and customers on the digital innovations is overwhelming. Today was a very busy day with many conversations and it is an honour to see how well the products have been appreciated.

There is not one highlight, but hundreds, because the many interesting conversations and the joy in the team are unique. It's fantastic to see how fast and of such high quality the VariJET 106 works.

Benjamin Nelles (Print Instructor) and Sebastian Stange (Process Engineer)

Enthusiastic customers from all kinds of countries – that's an absolute highlight. And it's not just the Koenig & Bauer experts in Düsseldorf who ensure this, but also the products and numerous innovations on stand A31 in hall 16.

Torge Möller (Product Manager)

What would drupa be without printing machines? With the comprehensive selection of machines from our broad product portfolio, we will be demonstrating a complete packaging workflow live every day in Düsseldorf. Further highlights: The huge stage, where digital innovations are presented, for example, as well as the sustainability island and the catering area – two oases of calm in the hustle and bustle of the trade fair.

Laurin Kaufmann (Corporate Communications)

A visit to a trade fair makes you thirsty and hungry. Our catering area is the right place to go. No wish remains unfulfilled here – from vegan to savoury, there is something for everyone to refresh themselves.

Sandra Hartmann (Service)

Our VIP shows were an absolute highlight – both for us and for our customers. Thanks to the precise organisation, the shows always ran smoothly, even with over 200 participants.

Jenny Lebeque
(Assistant to the Executive Board)

A symbol of unity and team spirit: our ampersand, the Koenig & Bauer signature. After eight years, numerous colleagues, customers and interested parties finally come together again in Düsseldorf and meet – sooner or later – at our red ampersand.
