In his 23 years at Grocery Supply Company’s in-plant, Keith St. Clair has ensured his shop’s success by seeking out new business and adding the right equipment, including a four-color press and computer-to-plate equipment.

All of St. Clair’s printing knowledge has come from this hands-on experience, which helped him to move up in the ranks.

“The more I learned, the more job responsibilities I got, bettering my position,” says St. Clair.

During this time, the in-plant was doing mostly black-and-white work and catalog printing. St. Clair says they weren’t looking to expand their services, just gearing up for longer runs as the company’s catalog volumes increased. Upgrades were made by replacing the Multi 1250s with two Multi 1650s and adding two Davidson 702 perfectors, a Bourg 46 collator and a bookbinder.
