Marshall & Bruce Printing Rebounds After Devastating Flood

KBA North America, a global press manufacturer based in Dallas, is pleased to announce that Marshall & Bruce Printing, a specialist in general commercial printing and packaging and fulfillment services, has rebounded from the 2010 spring floods in its headquarter location of Nashville and returned to full-service printing with the aid of KBA. The historic flood, which was the worst national natural disaster in 2010, nearly destroyed the firm’s KBA Rapida 105 41˝ seven-color press with digital CIP4 signal transmission and fiber optics. More than 13 inches of rain fell in two days in Nashville and central Tennessee in early May.

“A disaster of this kind is devastating for any business,” says Chip Smith, president of Marshall & Bruce Printing. “While the clean up, our customer’s work, all of our supplies and equipment, and insurance were very important, the most pressing problem was our Rapida 105. If we couldn’t repair or recondition the press, we didn’t have a business.
