Does Giving Bindery Equipment a Makeover Pay Off?

Bindery system manufacturers have faced a few tough sales years of late. Sales of new machines have fallen due to a variety of factors—recession, consolidation and many printers having simply given up the ghost and gone out of business.

This has spawned a lot of brainstorming among the vendors about how to generate revenue in a slow market. One of the largest bindery manufacturers has come up with a program to give its older machines a complete “makeover.” The program made its debut at GRAPH EXPO 2012, with displaying of an older saddlestitcher that had undergone the treatment.
