Edison Litho Talks Leadership, Big Presses at GlobalShop; Draws Crowd with Former Bears’ Star Player

At the GlobalShop show, the largest retail design and in-store marketing event, Edison enlisted Dan Hampton, a retired Hall of Fame Chicago Bear football defensive tackle who played 12 seasons for the Chicago Bears from 1979 to 1990 and is now a radio host for pre- and post-game shows for the Bears. Hampton’s versatility at both defensive end and defensive tackle, which led to accolades and election to the NFL Hall of Fame, is similar to Edison’s versatility to produce large format jobs on a variety of substrates on its KBA Rapida 205 81-inch six-color sheetfed press and its KBA Rapida 162 64-inch six-color press. Hampton appeared at the Edison Litho booth to sign calendars depicting Hampton’s former teammate William “The Refrigerator” Perry, Edison’s celebrity endorser at last year’s GlobalShop show in Las Vegas. He attracted long lines of well-wishers and fans who were greeted by Edison’s management team.
