Graph Expo: Binding and Finishing -- Outperforming Expectations

Hank Brandtjen, president of Brandtjen & Kluge, can sense a slack off from a pool of customers that had been active in recent years. “A lot of people were buying equipment the last two years. Now, they’re waiting to see what happens,” Brandtjen remarked. “People just aren’t buying right now.”

Brandtjen hopes to remedy the situation when his new Kluge EHG series foil press with stamping, diecutting and embossing capabilities ships in January. The machine operates at speeds up to 1,700 iph.
