Last December—after losing their beloved-KBA Rapida press due to a devastating fire—Canadian Bank Note (CBN), a 120-year-old Ottawa firm, turned to KBA to deliver a uniquely built multimillion-dollar Rapida 106, 41-inch 12-color press in record-time.
CBN produces secure identity documents: passports, drivers’ licenses & identification papers, on a variety of substrates. With demands from governments looking to create secure documents—safe from terrorist threats, counterfeiting & theft—CBN uses its KBA equipment to provide exacting solutions.
After the fire, KBA jumped into action, immediately providing a used press, and subsequently delivering a new Rapida 106, 12-colour press, in record time. As a result, CBN has remained one of the world’s leading producers of secure identity products.
Sean Pentland, CBN Pre-Press, praised their KBA support: “I can’t emphasize enough about the high level of unwavering support, seven days a week that we received from the entire global KBA group after the fire. KBA did absolutely everything they could to ensure that we were back in production as soon as possible after the fire.”
