NEW EXECUTIVES - At the Helm

Barbara J. Wolak
President
Robot Printing & Communications, Redford, MI
Barbara Wolak's business strategy is best described as pedal to the medal. That foot on the floor aggressiveness has helped her company see an increase in sales from $13 million in fiscal 1998 to $18 million in 1999.

In October of this year, Wolak led Robot Printing & Communications' acquisition of Trade Graphics, and the company is looking to expand even further. It has already broken ground on a 70,000-square-foot plant that will open in the spring and hopes to reach its sales goal of $50 million within two years.
