Finding in-plant managers who are under 40 proved a challenge.

By Bob Neubauer

Prior to the show, I drove up to Milwaukee to visit Briggs & Stratton's large in-plant, proudly shown off to me by Debbie Pavletich and Brian Patterson. The G7 Master Printer-certified in-plant has not only a four-color Ryobi offset press (which it used to print the catalog that won In-Print 2009 Best of Show), but a host of digital presses from a variety of vendors. For example, the shop has a five-color Kodak NexPress S2500, a Ricoh Pro C900, an Océ VarioPrint 6250 with inline square stitch binding, a new Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 2500 and a Xerox DocuTech.
