2008 HOF — Embracing Technology, Life

“These two fellows were good to me. I learned so much from them about running a company, getting along with people and how to treat employees,” Johnson says. “To this day, I still appreciate what I learned from them.”

Unfortunately, Johnson had to say goodbye to another major influence at LCP in the form of his vice president of manufacturing, Tom Oberembt, who passed away in 2005. Oberembt, according to Johnson, was adept at keeping the company abreast of the latest technology advances in the sheetfed offset realm. Also impressive was Oberembt’s ability to get the most out of employees.
