Alan Buffington explains how running a successful print company is akin to competing in a marathon
Our industry has a mixture of companies, from recent start-ups, to midsized businesses, to large established corporations or apparel companies.
The age of the machinery can vary from first generation carousel presses to new ovals with more printing heads and flashes.

Then there are those that simply never stop growing and add on presses every year or so to meet demand.
