Koenig & Bauer expands its service portfolio – Initially in the German, Austrian and Swiss regions

Würzburg, 15.10.2020 – The logical next step for an already long-standing partnership: Koenig & Bauer is expanding its service portfolio. In cooperation with Q.I. Press Controls (QIPC) - EAE, Koenig & Bauer will in future be offering retrofits and technical service for presses with EAE controls or QI Optical measurement and control systems.

At the signing of the cooperation agreement (left to right): Menno Jansen, chairman of the QIPC-EAE Group, and Thomas Potzkai, head of service for Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed.

“Our customers want one point of contact for all their needs. And we can now offer them this possibility. We have always enjoyed a very trustful relationship when working with QIPC-EAE in the past – and so this sales cooperation is the logical next step,” says Thomas Potzkai, head of service at Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed. The cooperation will initially cover Koenig & Bauer customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Menno Jansen, chairman of QIPC-EAE, says: “It is a win-win situation for everyone involved. We are delighted that our cooperation with Koenig & Bauer has now become even closer.” The intention is to add further regions and printing presses from other manufacturers to the portfolio in the future.

Koenig & Bauer already established a very successful partnership with S.E.M. Servicegesellschaft two years ago.
