Great Lakes Bindery — Move to Automation

"Employment has been tough the last several years. It is very difficult to find and keep skilled labor. It's even more difficult for trade binderies because we are such labor-intensive operations," Landheer explains.

Problem Solved
To solve his dilemma, Landheer turned to Long Island City, NY-based Spiel Associates. Great Lakes installed a Sterling Coilmaster II automatic coil former and inserter, as well as a Rilecart B-599 automatic wire binder, as part of a $250,000 shop upgrade.
