COURIER CORP. -- Textbook Example

In the past two years, Book-mart has added a Kolbus casing-in line for case-bound book production, along with a state-of-the-art Kolbus perfect binder. Capping the capital investments is a four-color Heidelberg cover press.

"Morale in the plant is terrific because the employees get to work on the latest new equipment," Gluckow states. "When the new cover press was installed, the excitement throughout the plant was unimaginable. Our makereadies are probably 75 percent faster now. The same holds true for the bindery equipment that we installed. Our turnaround time is faster than ever before."
