UBS Printing Group -- Forging New Paths

Finishing capabilities range from two Sugano diecutters and folder/ gluers to Polar and Harris Seybold cutters, three MBO folders and a McCain collator/stitcher with cover feeder and five-knife trimming capabilities.

Perhaps one of Hamrick's greatest assets is his background as a print broker and knowing clients' requirements from a manufacturing standpoint. "With the broker mentality, you have a 'can do' attitude," Hamrick says. "That attitude is what makes us go forward while others are sitting stagnant."

From Ashdown's perspective, improvement is an ongoing quest to solidify UBS Printing's objective to be a high quality, single-source provider. "Quality is always a constant," he says. "We're constantly looking for new materials, better consumables and always trying to achieve the best dot possible. With the new presses and our other equipment, we provide clients with the highest quality printing they can get on board or any other substrate."

Like its name suggests, the Rapidas allowed UBS Printing Group to attain that goal—in a hurry.
