Focus on quality, energy efficiency, labour safety and environment protection 

KBA-Industrial Solutions certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and 14001 

As one of the pioneers of German engineering, and at the same time a globally successful printing press manufacturer, Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) can be counted among the top addresses in this flagship industry. Modern, networked production processes which place a particular focus on product and delivery quality, energy efficiency, labour safety and environment protection underpin this claim. They are verified by external auditors and confirmed by way of the relevant certificates. 

Since restructuring of the parent company Koenig & Bauer AG at the beginning of 2015, the strict standards have also been effective for the newly formed subsidiary KBA‑Industrial Solutions AG & Co. KG. With a total of around 1,000 employees at the KBA sites in Würzburg and Radebeul, KBA-Industrial Solutions assumes the role of manufacturing service provider for the other companies of the KBA Group, as well as for external customers. Recently, the new subsidiary successfully completed the prescribed audit processes leading to certification under DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015. These important quality and environmental management certificates complement the certification to BS OHSAS 18001:2007 regarding occupational health and safety.

The same can be said of the group foundry KBA-Gießerei GmbH in Würzburg, which has additionally installed an energy management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001:2011. The integrated management system for both companies covers all departments and divisions.

In tandem with KBA-Gießerei GmbH, KBA-Industrial Solutions also offers access to its enormous production resources, with well over 100 CNC machine tools and machining centres, many of them of the latest generation, its exceptionally qualified workforce and its broad know-how in fields such as hand moulding, the precision machining of large workpieces or surface coatings to other machine and plant manufacturers – and that with acknowledged success.
