MERCURY PRINT PRODUCTIONS -- A Digital Thrust

Charting a Course

Given its size and breadth of services, Place says running the company has evolved into a team effort. Rounding out the management quintet are Chris Young, production manager; Steve Adolf, vice president of sales; and Rob Turner, CFO.

The company's experiences to date with integrating the iGen3 make a good case study for exploring the business and management philosophies that have kept Mercury Print on an upward trajectory. The printing organization has been working closely with Xerox, learning right along with the manufacturer, since early on in the product development cycle of the device, Place reveals. The digital press is impacting all areas of the operation, including its offset department, with positive results and maybe a challenge or two along the way.
