NPES Elects New Chairman and Directors at 2009 Annual Conference
Burgess Industries was founded as a manufacturer of patented imaging and processing products for microfilm and printed circuit boards; other technologies were added later through two acquisitions. Digital CtP imaging along with high-speed sheetfed and web press technology inspired Mr. Burgess to embark upon a major redesign of the company's image register-control, punching and plate bending systems, which led to Burgess pioneering their patented plate management and handling automation for "lights-out" fully integrated manufacturing.
Burgess has won numerous awards for marketing, automation, technology and industry leadership contributions. Most notably, in 2008, Burgess Industries, Inc. was the recipient of the prestigious NPES Harold W. Gegenheimer Corporate Award for industry service and leadership. Also in 2008, at drupa, Burgess earned three CIP4 international technology and innovation awards for the creation of the world's largest commercial print application of a fully automated and integrated system of plate handling and management at Cox Target Media.
