SPI is excited to announce that the modifications and upgrades to the M-1000 8 Unit are complete. The project included rebuilding the main mechanical components of the entire press and upgrading the drives, controls, and HMIs. Mark Schumann, vice president of SPI, who has been leading the project, commented:

In August, Ball Publishing made a trip out to SPI in Fall River, WI, to see how their publication, GrowerTalks, gets made. Ball Publishing creates magazines, newsletters, online resources, videos, webinars, and podcasts to provide the horticulture industry with cutting-edge information on the latest crops, culture, and innovations. They have been a partner with Schumann Printers for 23 years. They currently print GrowerTalks/GreenProfit, a monthly publication, and a quarterly title called Inside Grower Supplement.

On Saturday, July 16th, SPI had their Summer Company Picnic. It was a day filled with yard games, bingo, bouncy houses, temporary tattoos, and lots of smiles. Thanks to everyone who came out to attend the event. Everyone had a blast making summer memories with many of the SPI team members and their families. Check out the picture gallery below.

On Wednesday, May 25th, Schumann Printers, Inc. traveled to The Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee, WI, to attend the 2022 Great Lakes Graphics Association Graphics Excellence Awards Celebration. Each year, the Great Lakes Graphics Association’s Graphics Excellence Awards competition recognizes companies throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin for the superb craftsmanship in the design, creation, and production of top-quality printed material they produce for their customers.

Schumann Printers continues its work with Manroland Goss to rebuild the M-1000 8 Unit press. Although challenges with the current supply chain cause delays and shortages within many industries, repairs on the M-1000 8 Unit are underway. More importantly, all of the parts required for the rebuild have been secured. Schumann Printers' Vice President, Mark Schumann, feels optimistic about the project's current progress.

Our objective has always been to minimize the number of price increases passed along to our customers.
