Among the most common items printed by the 12-employee operation are booklets. So when the in-plant's C.P. Bourg booklet maker began breaking down last year, this had a serious impact on productivity at the Ft. Wayne, IN, operation.
In September, Hohman started researching a replacement, eventually narrowing down her search to equipment from Standard Finishing and Duplo USA. She and one of her operators traveled to Columbus, OH, to see a Duplo 500i Booklet System in action and talk to the operator. It seemed a perfect fit.
