Eckhart & Co. -- Breaking Boundaries
"As cutting, folding and stitching equipment became more affordable, more printers began bringing these capabilities in-house," explains Bill Eckhart. "So we focused our attention on adding services that printers really craved, but were loath to try to do themselves."
Adding Services
| At Eckhart & Co.'s Indianapolis-based headquarters, two fully automatic Bielomatik mechanical binding machines are key to providing punching and binding in a single pass—and keeping the operators busy. |
The result was the addition of mechanical binding and loose-leaf manufacturing capabilities at Eckhart in the mid-'60s. Although the two distinct services gave Eckhart footholds in different markets, the similarity between the two processes made it very attractive to perform both under one roof.
