Jordi AG Maximises Profitability and Sustainability in Commercial Printing with Sheetfed Offset Technology from Koenig & Bauer

• Highly automated 4-over-4 production ensures drastic make-ready time reductions and maximum flexibility for frequent job changes in commercial printing 
• Digital integration and optimised energy use significantly reduce waste and resource consumption in continuous operation
• Seamless digital workflow and industry-leading 24/7 remote maintenance support create continuous production reliability

Three years after its pioneering investment in an eight-colour Rapida 106 X, the Swiss family-owned company Jordi AG has achieved an outstanding track record of success. The highly automated sheetfed offset press from Koenig & Bauer – equipped with perfecting for 4-over-4 production and an additional coating unit for inline finishing – has far exceeded the ambitious expectations in daily practice. Today, it forms the technological backbone of the company, enabling highly efficient and future-oriented demanding production in commercial printing.

Highly automated inline production accelerates time-to-market
Particularly in modern commercial printing, which is characterised by declining print runs and increasingly frequent job changes, the Rapida 106 X fully demonstrates its strengths. The extremely short make-ready times and seamless digital integration enable Jordi to process orders with maximum economic efficiency. Inline finishing through the integrated coating unit eliminates additional work steps and considerably accelerates the time-to-market for customers.

"We have been continuously expanding our expertise in printing since 1897. The decision three years ago to once again rely on high-tech solutions from Koenig & Bauer has proven to be absolutely right," summarises Managing Director Gabriel Jordi. "The press delivers exactly what we need for our strategic orientation: maximum efficiency, outstanding print quality, and the necessary agility to react immediately to market demands. Our profitability in typical commercial orders has improved significantly and measurably."

Measurable sustainability and maximum productivity through proactive performance management
In addition to its economic performance, the promise of more sustainable production has also been confirmed through years of use. Thanks to the precise control systems and waste reduction of the Rapida 106 X, Jordi has been able to massively curb paper waste and optimise energy usage per printed sheet in the long term.

This success is significantly driven by the proactive performance management of Koenig & Bauer Switzerland. As a strategic partner, Michel Woodtli, a specialist in printing and process technology, optimised the entire process chain in close cooperation with Jordi – from prepress to the finest adjustments on the machine. This continuous and cooperative process optimisation ensures that the performance of the Rapida 106 X remains permanently at top level and that Jordi's productivity is sustainably maximised.

Tim Jordi adds: "Today, we produce not only noticeably faster, but also in a far more resource-friendly manner. This pays directly into our ambitious sustainability goals. Furthermore, the top-class service from Koenig & Bauer is a genuine competitive advantage for us. The competent Swiss team of technicians and the smoothly functioning 24/7 remote maintenance give us the absolute certainty of reliable production around the clock."

With this thoroughly positive three-year track record, Koenig & Bauer underscores its role as a strategic partner for printing companies that want to measurably transform their processes and position themselves securely for the future.
