Citation Press--Rags to Riches

Tran Success Strategies
When you ask Tran about what makes Citation successful, he points to technology and his employees. Tran is a firm believer that both have to be nurtured in order to ensure Citation's growth.

"We are a very modern company," he reveals. In 1997, a $6 million re-engineering project at the plant added two Heidelberg presses: a six-color, 28x40˝ Speedmaster CD 102 with in-line aqueous coater and infrared drying; and a four-color, 28x40˝ Speedmaster Classic 102 perfector, also with in-line aqueous coater and infrared drying. Citation's all-Heidelberg press department also includes a five-color, 19x251⁄2˝ M05 perfector with in-line aqueous coater and infrared dryer, and a two-color, 13x18˝ Printmaster QM-46 press.
