Printing Impressions/RIT Names Hall of Fame Class

• David Pilcher Sr., owner and president, Freeport Press, Freeport, OH

A Bob Jones University graduate who cut his teeth on printing while working for that university's in-plant, Dave enjoyed stints at Lithocolor Press and Good News Publishers in Chicago. He later joined Frank Beddor Jr. and became the first president of The Press of Ohio. Dave later served as president of NADCO in Hazelton, PA, and personally supervised the construction and startup of this $50 million facility. In 1998, he purchased a near bankrupt company, the Freeport Press. Joined by his two sons, David and James, the company has grown into a high-quality web offset producer generating $35 million in annual sales.

The inductees will be honored Monday, Sept. 9, at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Hotel in Chicago during PRINT 13.
