Progressive In-plant in a Progressive Company

This expertise has helped bring in recent new work from Beckman Coulter's Miami operation, which had been having problems with its outside printer. That work, mostly product inserts, will add a half million dollars in business this year.

In addition, the in-plant is responsible for printing operation manuals, labels, inserts and other materials (collectively called "part numbered items") for the company's many instrument systems. Almost 8,200 individual part numbers are supported, Hulett says. Whenever the Technical Publications Group gets a request to change any of the support material for an instrument system, the in-plant is in charge of printing the new versions for the correct instrument, identified by the part number and revision controlled alpha numeric system.
