Pro Line Printing--Third Time's The Charm

It's very evident that Brown enjoys what he does, because he has started three successful printing and printing-related companies since 1982. It's a pretty impressive statistic considering that when the native New Zealander came to the United States in 1967 to visit family in Omaha, NE, he had never seen a printing press. It gets even more impressive when you factor in that just five years after taking a part-time job at a commercial printing operation, he was running the company. Not only was he running the company, the company was very successful. When Brown became president of Rapid Printer & Mailers in 1975, the facility had three web presses and annual sales of $5 million. By the time the company was sold in 1981, it was operating five web presses and was generating $35 million in annual sales.
