Director of LA’s In-plant Passes Away
“Michael went before the council and successfully proved our operation has, and will continue to save city resources,” he says. “Our jobs were also saved, and for that we all owe him an eternal debt of gratitude.”
Past president of the Orange County chapter of the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association and the Los Angeles Club of Printing House Craftsmen, Mr. Leighton worked tirelessly to bring print work back in-house. In 2008, his in-plant worked with the Office of Finance to redesign a tax booklet so it could be produced in-house, saving the city $200,000.
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication. Mr. Neubauer is very active in the U.S. in-plant industry. He attends all the major in-plant conferences and has visited more than 180 in-plant operations around the world. He has given presentations to numerous in-plant groups in the U.S., Canada and Australia, including the Association of College and University Printers and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. He also coordinates the annual In-Print contest, co-sponsored by IPMA and In-plant Impressions.
