RockTenn’s Nicholasville, Kentucky folding carton team set two world records recently by printing more than 9 million sheets in one month and more than 357,000 sheets in one day! Both records were set on a KBA Rapida 164 64” 7-colour plus coater press that was installed in May of 2014. To put the company’s 9-million-sheets achievement in perspective, the number of average-size sheets printed and laid end-to-end equaled the length of more than 142,500 football fields!
“These amazing feats were accomplished with hard work, dedication and the tremendous pride of our skilled, team-motivated members,” said Kenny Knipschild, GM at the Nicholasville plant. “We were pushed to new limits and learned a lot. It was a win for both our customers and our team.”
RockTenn is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of containerboard and paperboard as well as packaging solutions. The company has locations in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
