Metzgers' Journey to the Head of the Class --Michelson

Joe Metzger certainly racks up a lot of frequent flyer miles giving talks. As one of the first Xerox iGen4 color digital press installations in the United States, his configuration also features an in-line Duplo stitcher/bookletmaker. The unique production capabilities are helping the Metzger brothers plot a new chapter for their company’s success. Targeting the market for saddlestitched photo books and photo brochures, a dedicated Website (www.fotoBound.com) will launch this summer. Then, it will be back to school, as the entrepreneurs search out their next cross-media business opportunity—nurtured by their intellectual curiosity, a willingness to invest wisely in shaky times, and a passion for education and peer networking. Key attributes to remaining at the head of the class.
