Allied Printing--Crowning Customers

"We have to look closely at what we're doing today and listen to find out what the industry is doing tomorrow," Sommers remarks. "With the way commercial printing is changing and evolving, we need someone out there tracking new developments and reporting back to Allied. We have an independent board to put [proposals] through the process of justification. It's not a rubber stamp by any means—our board asks many tough questions before we receive approval to purchase any new equipment."
