IPG Visits Six PA In-plants
At Penn State, Director Abbas Badani showed off his in-plant’s new Pitney Bowes FlowMaster insterting system, and noted that having oversight of both mail and print has strengthened his operation. His department recently negotiated a new campus MFD agreement, which will save PSU some $750,000.
At Penn College, Joe Geffre, director of Mail and Document Services, just received authority to oversee contracts for all school printers, which he expects will save big money. Neubauer toured this well-equipped in-plant, which includes a Kodak NexPress and numerous offset presses, and learned how the in-plant must balance production with student lab time on the equipment. To further help the school’s educational mission, the in-plant produces textbooks and other class materials, which are sold to students at very low prices.
