Komori Corporation announced that its premier training institution, KGC Printing College, has officially surpassed 1,000 overseas participants.
Operated by Komori Graphic Technology Center (KGC) at the company’s Tsukuba plant, the college reached the significant milestone for its international training programmes nearly 17 years after its founding in 2009. To commemorate this achievement, a ceremony was held at KGC, welcoming overseas participants and other concerned parties.
KGC Printing College offers practical training programmes designed to help customers achieve stable print quality and improved productivity in support of their actual production environments. The continuous delivery of these hands-on training programmes, well received by customers around the world, has led to this milestone. “It was an honour to be part of this milestone. Not every manufacturer offers a service model like this and having both on-site and remote training is a real advantage. Being able to see the equipment in person made a difference. I was very impressed by the standard engineering quality and the precision of the machines,” says one of the participants from Australia.
From a distributor’s perspective, Print & Pack Australia Pty Ltd’s Steve Harper comments, “Being a Komori distributor for many years, having Komori’s backup makes a real difference. Bringing customers here – not only for training, but also to see demonstrations and how the machines are made – helps deepen their appreciation for the Komori brand.”
Masahiro Hirano, Director of KGC, says, “At KGC Printing College, we place the highest priority on developing people who can deliver stable results in actual production environments, not only on teaching machine operation skills. We view the milestone of 1,000 overseas participants as the result of building trust through continuous learning and dialogue together with customers from around the world. KGC will continue to support printing sites across regions and countries by creating value through learning, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of the printing industry.”
