2007 Printing Industry Hall of Fame — Master of the Deal - Chris Colville

Colville’s time in the printing industry was relatively short, a little more than 10 years. As Hall of Famers go, he is a perfect match for former Dodgers baseball pitching great Sandy Koufax—a man who set the baseball world on its ear in a very short span with a smoking fastball and big overhand curve. Colville’s “fastball” was his ability to help lift CGX from a regional $49 million sheetfed printer in Texas to a national success with 68 facilities in 27 states and Canada, and more than $1 billion in annual sales.
