KBA celebrates its 200-year-old roots
Posted on:
On November 29, 1814, a new steam-powered double-cylinder printing press from Friedrich Koenig and Andreas Bauer was used for the first time to print The Times in London.
Nearly three years later, on August 9, 1817, Koenig and Bauer founded the world’s first printing press factory Schnellpressenfabrik Koenig & Bauer in a secularized monastery in Oberzell, near Würzburg. Today KBA’s main production facility can be found on the opposite side of the river Main.
