New Rapida press offers key innovations to support growth initiatives
The new Rapida press will join an existing Koenig & Bauer Rapida 164 at Standard’s 153,000-sq.-ft. facility in Canton, Ohio, where it employs 115 people. It will act as a sister press and allow Standard to move jobs back and forth as needed.
