Modern Litho to Celebrate Anniversary, New Press

JEFFERSON CITY, MO—A trifecta of milestones will be celebrated with a special ceremony and open house at Modern Litho's facility based here. The company will mark its 75th anniversary this year with a total brand identity makeover and a major investment in a new high-performance Heidelberg press.

The printer has invited customers, partners, supporters, press and other members of the business community to join its management and employees for the Heidelberg press ribbon cutting, and other anniversary festivities, on May 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

"It takes commitment to quality, service and continual improvement for a company to last 75 years in this industry. We've come a long way in 75 years and built a flourishing client base, but our old logo did not reflect the energy or direction of our company today. When we looked at who we've become—a modern, stable partner—we didn't think this was communicated visually to new markets and customers," said Darrell Moore, president.

Modern Litho is aggressively seeking to capture new markets and clients. The new multimillion-dollar Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 eight-color sheetfed offset press represents a strategic move that complements the existing operations. Featuring the latest press technologies, it will greatly improve efficiencies and accelerate job turnaround.
