Commercial printer company and personnel news from Printing Impressions' February 2010 edition.

The producer of card products and packaging has installed a KBA Rapida 105 five-over-five 41-inch sheetfed perfector press with full UV capabilities, coating and board kit at its new facility in Dallas.

All Out's trademark is "Big, Bold and Fearless." For you see, not only does company founder J.B. Capuano expect his production team to jump through hoops for their customers, he wants those clients to alter the approach they take to creating and disseminating their message.

Projects vary from back-lit displays, packaging, outdoor signage and banners, tags, plastic business cards, membership cards, ID cards, menus, plastic phone cards, point-of-purchase (POP) displays, labels, window displays and maps.

More than 40 KBA web offset user members participated in the two-day event over a three-hour time period each day in this first-of-its-kind Webinar meeting.

The general commercial printer quickly took delivery and began production on its KBA Rapida 75 23x29-inch six-color plus coater press after it made its North American debut at the KBA booth on the show floor at PRINT 09 in Chicago.

Concord Litho, the pride of the New Hampshire town that bears its name, has captured more than 50 awards in the past three years from entries in various worldwide printing contests. Augmenting the powerful designs and superior printing jobs from this independent web and sheetfed printer, in some cases, is a breath of fresh air in the form of chocolate, fresh-cut grass, popcorn, Oreo cookies and pickles. Yes, pickles.

KBA North America successfully concluded its press demonstrations and show presence at PRINT 09 in Chicago by exceeding its sales expectations, breaking its own world makeready record, and attracting new qualified customers to its full range of presses.

DALLAS—KBA North America has named Mark Hischar its new president and CEO. He will assume his new positions with the company on Oct. 1. Hischar replaces Holger Garbrecht, who resigned at the end of August. Prior to joining KBA, Hischar was president and CEO of W+D Machinery in Overland, KS.
