Baesman, based in Hilliard, OH, has offered high levels of quality and service since the company was formed in 1952, specializing in, among other things, retail signage print production. The downturn in the economy forced Baesman to take a hard look at its operation and find any and all areas where money could be saved without sacrificing the high quality that its customers had come to expect. The company chose InkSave for several reasons: ink cost savings, faster drying times and automation of ink application. http://www.agfa.com/gs/en/internet/gs/news_events/latest_news/archive/20100816_baesman.jsp http://www.agfa.com/gs/en/internet/gs/news_events/latest_news/archive/20100816_baesman.jsp Mon, 16 Aug 2010 16:00:00 Agfa Graphics announced today that the company is a Platinum Sponsor of the 2010 SGIA Expo.

Pitman Company, a leading US supplier of prepress, industrial inkjet, pressroom and packaging printing products and systems. The Pitman Company acquisition substantially increases Agfa Graphics’ revenue in the US to more than $500 million. The incremental EBIT contribution is expected to be well in line with Agfa Graphics’ global 7 percent target. After the closing, Agfa expects further growth of its US top line resulting from the combination of expertise available in both companies. Agfa also expects strong synergies to be delivered from the consolidation of sales forces and the reduction of G&A expenses. http://www.agfa.com/gs/en/internet/gs/news_events/latest_news/archive/cc_20100715_pitman.jsp http://www.agfa.com/gs/en/internet/gs/news_events/latest_news/archive/cc_20100715_pitman.jsp Thu, 15 Jul 2010 07:45:00 Agfa Graphics today announced that Unit Safety Signs (USS), a large Japanese company specialising in the design and manufacture of safety signs and products for the safety industry, is able to handle shorter run lengths and expand its media assortment thanks Agfa Graphics' Dotrix digital UV inkjet press.
