2008 was a momentous year for DFTA (the German Flexo Technical Association) and BOBST, also marking the start of an ongoing mutually rewarding technical collaboration in flexo printing: DFTA took delivery of an 8-color F&K FlexPress 6S/8 in their technology Center located at Stuttgart Media University (HdM), while BOBST brought German printing press manufacturer Fischer & Krecke into its Group.
