Southern Success Story
Justifying the cost of all this new gear was not easy, Wilson says, but it helped that his in-plant is self-supporting.
"We don't get any kind of subsidies from anybody," he explains. "We print and sell printing, and that's how we pay salaries and buy equipment."
Even so, he still had to convince his boss that the return on investment and equipment life expectancy were good enough to merit the purchase.
