An In-plant Victory
A heart-stopping discovery indeed. Schrader, however, remained optimistic.
"I just walked up to my boss and said, 'Get me on this team,' " he recalls. "I knew we were the right solution. It was obvious we didn't get the right audience to tell that to."
Thanks to his steadfast perseverance, his in-depth knowledge of the in-plant's costs, and the strong support of his boss, Schrader was able to turn this potential defeat into a resounding triumph. After months of meetings with dozens of suppliers, Brunswick made the decision not only to retain and upgrade the in-plant, but to recommend that all of its companies send their printing to Schrader's shop. The in-plant has now changed its name from Mercury Print Solutions to Brunswick Print Solutions, and is the proud owner of a new Xerox iGen4 and a Nuvera 200, both with inline binding capabilities, along with new workflow software.
