Lithocraft Co.: UV Cures Need for Growth

Growth doesn’t always equate profitability, and it’s the latter that Lithocraft has focused its energies on enhancing. The 70-
employee shop, which posted sales of approximately $12 million in 2011, is projecting to approach the $16 million plateau this year. Thus, growth is not an issue, either. But, for a conservative firm operating in a city founded by German immigrants, its recent decision to invest heavily in an automated UV offset press to enter new print markets is downright bold.
