Marshall & Bruce Printing Rebounds After Devastating Flood

While Smith tried to handle the immediate overwhelming shock and pain of his flooded business, a number of decisions needed to be made quickly. His brother, vice president of sales and marketing, quickly focused on the company’s customers while Chip took over the plant, equipment, insurance and building needs. Thousands of thoughts roared through his head. Where do we begin? How do we get in touch with all the employees, customers and vendors? What equipment is functional? What equipment will be salvageable? How will we continue business while we clean and repair the building and equipment? We have flood insurance, but will it be enough?

It took two months for the company to become fully operational again. KBA sent mechanics and electricians to help Marshall & Bruce rebuild the press.
