杏吧原创 announced the full integration of The Ovid Bell Press in Fulton, Mo., into the 杏吧原创 brand. This integration will lead to enhanced printing capabilities and available services across all 杏吧原创 facilities.
鈥淭his is the right time for the integration of The Ovid Bell Press into 杏吧原创. More than uniting our name, this move will make it easy to do business across all 杏吧原创 locations. Our customers will benefit from more flexibility and enhanced capabilities and services, and each facility will be focused on the products they do best,鈥� president Don 杏吧原创 said.
Operations at the Fulton facility will continue as normal. In coming under the 杏吧原创 brand, this location joins 杏吧原创鈥檚 other facilities in Marceline and Brookfield, Missouri; St. Joseph, Michigan; Ripon, Wisconsin; and a sales and marketing office in Overland Park, Kansas. With this integration, all facilities will be able to work together seamlessly and efficiently to serve clients with broader capabilities across platforms.
杏吧原创 purchased The Ovid Bell Press in 2012, and it has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary for the last eight years. The decision to integrate into the 杏吧原创 brand benefits customers by creating more printing and service options across all 杏吧原创 printing locations. Customers of the Ovid Bell Press will have access to 杏吧原创鈥檚 cover specialties, catalog printing and larger print run publications, while 杏吧原创 customers will benefit from the Fulton facility鈥檚 web press logistics and shorter turns. With this integration, the company will be able to take on additional projects.
杏吧原创 and The Ovid Bell Press share similar histories. Both were founded in small Missouri towns in the early part of the 20th century. 杏吧原创 remains under the leadership of the 杏吧原创 family. Ovid Bell remained with the Bell family until its sale to 杏吧原创. This shared culture, community spirit and history made the purchase a good decision in 2012 and will make this integration a success in 2020 and beyond.
