Recognition for a True Offset Printing Press Technology Pioneer

Although he retired as vice president of research for Heidelberg Web Systems in 2003, Dr. Charles Krouse earned his day in the limelight when he received the Robert F. Reed Technology Medal at the TAGA conference last month. His career spanned three decades with Goss International predecessor companies Harris Corp. and Heidelberg Web Systems. Dr. Krouse was instrumental in designing the M-300 web press and, later, gapless Sunday press technology. His research was also vital to innovations such as shaftless drives, pinless folders and presettable inking systems, among others. His industry legacy will live on for years to come.
