Since 2014, the company NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme, has been intensively involved in the training of talented students from Frei's Schulen in Lucerne. As a training company, NBS AG offers the young athletes the opportunity to optimally combine competitive sports and vocational training. In addition to the Frei's Talent School, the apprentices attend their sports training sessions as well as sporting events and complete their internship at the company at the same time. "The coordination between the apprenticeship company, school and sport must function perfectly in order to offer the young talent all the possibilities and opportunities for the future," says Jörg Nickel, Managing Director of NBS AG and member of the board of Verdia AG (the placement agency for the trainees).

NBS intern makes the leap into the professional league

Stefan Knezevic started his apprenticeship at the company NBS AG in February 2014 as 1st trainee. After successfully completing his apprenticeship, he received a professional contract as a footballer with FC Lucerne. Since then, NBS AG has been looking after one trainee from the Lucerne talent school every new semester, and since February 2018, even two trainees have been taken on. In recognition of this commitment, NBS AG has now been awarded the Swiss Olympic "Performance Sport Friendly Teaching Company" label for the 2018/2019 teaching year.

New paper disposal at Allprint AG, St. Gallen

By News

In the course of a far-reaching redesign, the Allprint printing company in St. Gallen has installed a modern paper and dust extraction and disposal system from NBS AG, Nickel Betriebsanlagen + Systeme. The system was designed according to the latest state of the art and is characterized by high economic efficiency.

"With the expansion of our machine park, we are confronted with significantly larger paper extraction volumes. The old extraction system could no longer meet this requirement profile," says Tobias Anderegg, member of the management at Allprint AG.

The individual and tailor-made solution concept was created very closely together with the customer and designed to meet their needs. The installation of the new system was completed in only 2 1/2 weeks, and this with production running normally. Each extraction line to the individual production machines was disconnected from the old extraction system and connected to the new system by means of the shortest possible interruption to production. "The parallel installation of the new system was also a reason for working with NBS AG. We had practically no interruption in production," says Tobias Anderegg.

From now on, Allprint AG can once again concentrate fully on its specialisation of business printing. The fully automatic NBS extraction system takes over the responsible task of paper waste disposal. Tobias Anderegg adds: "NBS advised us very well at all times and installed the system professionally and expeditiously, we are looking forward to further cooperation".

By News

As a result of the strategic partnership between Druckerei Bloch AG and Gantenbein AG, a new building is being constructed in Arlesheim on Talstrasse for the consolidation of the new production machines. From the end of 2017, this will also house a new extraction and disposal system for paper and cardboard waste. Within the scope of this major order, the Bloch AG printing company has opted for the system concept of NBS AG.

The new press container disposal system is used for the area of commercial printing and cardboard boxes / packaging. In addition, a shredder system for the manual destruction of sensitive packaging material is also integrated into the extraction concept. The complete in-house solution was conceived very closely with the customer and designed to meet their needs.

For NBS AG, the decision to distribute the products in Switzerland was an easy one: The quality of the presses and the technically noticeable advantage are unmistakable. In addition, it quickly became clear in the discussions that the Finnish company policy as well as the family philosophy is a reflection of the values of NBS. For the first time, NBS AG will now present the vertical cardboard baler "N-Balex-10" at the Fachpack packaging trade fair in Nuremberg at the end of September.

With this partnership, another milestone has been reached and we are looking forward to the upcoming expansion of our horizons. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jörg Nickel, Managing Director.

New NBS coffee capsule extraction system

By News

The Italian coffee company "Luigi Lavazza S.p.A." is expanding its production in the south of France and relies on the competences of NBS AG for the disposal plant.

Luigi Lavazza S.p.A. is an Italian company that is in the business of refining and distributing coffee beans. Through the acquisition of the "Carte Noir" brand, the company now also produces in the south of France, more precisely at the world's third-largest food manufacturer Mondélez International. In 2013, NBS AG installed a central extraction system for the aluminum waste from the coffee capsules for this very food company. Even then, an optimal system design with high flexibility and at the same time almost 100% availability played an important role, which is why the technical solution of NBS AG was chosen.

Now the expansion of Lavazza Holding is imminent, with four production machines having to dispose of the die-cutting waste from flow paper - capsules. After many previous analyses, it was recognized that the different material also meant a different system design than at Mondélez International. The energy-optimized components and the application with briquetting presses spoke in favor of NBS AG. Last but not least, a complicated fabric insertion and the low space requirement are also the speciality of the central Swiss company.

For these reasons, and also due to the successful cooperation in the recent past, Lavazza S.p.A. quickly agreed and awarded the major contract to the family-owned company NBS AG.

Major expansion at the Berne printing centre

By News

Read here the report about the expansion of the paper pulp extraction system
at Druckzentrum Bern AG

bindereport 9/2015


The Swiss company NBS AG in Kriens specialises in the disposal of paper, dust, cardboard, foil, aluminium and securities waste. Based on several years of experience in this field, the company offers high-quality systems, 95% of which are custom-made for specific applications. The specialists carry out these plants as integrated projects, from planning to installation and on-site maintenance.

NBS AG was currently able to implement a demanding project for a major customer. The Druckzentrum Bern AG, which belongs to Tamedia AG and thus to one of the leading media groups in Switzerland, was already equipped with an NBS extraction system. However, due to ever increasing production volumes, an expansion of the system had to be considered. For this reason, the printing house purchased a second Ferag cutting drum, which automatically means increased waste management. With regard to the expansion of the extraction system, the management opted for the technical solution of NBS AG.

In the meantime, in the event of a full press container - thanks to another press container and a changeover diverter - production no longer has to be interrupted. Instead, the material is automatically diverted to the new press container system by the changeover diverter. A completely expanded control system including an energy-saving transport fan rounds off the expansion.

The pleasing result for the Berne printing center after this complex conversion is a much more efficient and performance-oriented production.
