Foster Printing: A Happy, Productive Place

"The latest addition of the 205 press puts us into a new marketplace. It allowed us to expand our client base and, more importantly, continue serving the current customer base at a wider level."

Tim Blackburn also credits the newer equipment with enabling Foster Printing to produce more without adding payroll. "We've reduced labor in the pressroom through automation, and that has allowed our pressroom workers to focus on what they need to do," he says. "If we had older machines, we'd have to add staff and more shifts. Then we'd be taking away the overtime our current employees have enjoyed. Of course, we don't want to over-work them either. We want our employees to get the most that they can out of what they're great at doing."
