A Note from Marty Ochs
Printing is Alive and Strong! If you go to any store or order online, you will see rows and rows of printed cartons, labels, overwraps, displays, information sheets and many other printed products.

Wisconsin has a large concentration of offset, flexographic, gravure, screen, digital and ink jet imaging second to none. The Printing Showcase on Sept. 27 features an outstanding group of exhibitors from ALL sectors of the printing industry.  The showcase is from10am to 4pm followed by networking to 5pm at the Stadium View Bar and Conference Center. Register today as an exhibitor or attendee.
Truly,

Final Walk in De Pere's Manufacturing Corridor
De Pere has a number of companies in the 5P Industries! We will be covering other cities in the upcoming issues to show the strength of our 5P, Converting and Supporting Manufacturing Base providing services to the Paper Industry in Wisconsin.

SPONSORS STORIES AND UPDATES
A Perfect 10 at Legacy Flexo
“I’m constantly asked why 10 decks are needed,” says Dan Aberly, Legacy Flexo, Green Bay. Investors in 10-color flexo continue to praise it in terms of quality and output. From setup to line speeds, changeover and washup, precision automation allows printers to process high volumes.
Coaching & Job Performance
Five-year-olds have so much to teach us about employee performance. Mike Quinn, consulting partner of 15dots, learned some valuable lessons coaching his boys’ sports teams over the years, but one particular lesson made him feel worthy of being called “Coach.” 
A Leader You Want Have
Brian Van de Water, CEO of SPL Consulting, LLC challenges you to ask yourself if you are the leader you would like to have. Seek input from your team on their perception of your leadership style. It could be the first step in becoming a stronger leader and the leader your team needs.
