UBS Printing Group -- Forging New Paths

Speaking of which, Hamrick is a big fan of innovation and isn't afraid to have his plant manager, Gilbert Ashdown, find innovative configurations for UBS' equipment. For example, when manuals printing was a big part of its operation, Ashdown hooked roll-to-sheeters up to one of UBS' sheetfed presses. By purchasing roll stock, the company gained a 25 percent discount off its sheetfed paper prices and was able to remain price competitive on the book front and still maintain sheetfed quality.
