Rochester, NY -- Serigraph Inc., one of the largest specialty printers
in the world, has grown since its founding in 1949 to global leadership
in screen and offset printing on plastics. Based in West Bend, Wis.,
the company records annual revenues of approximately $130 million and
employs more than 1,200 people in the United States, Mexico, and Asia.
Serigraph is committed to offering each customer top quality service,
including competitive pricing and superior turnaround.

To deliver on that commitment, Serigraph constantly evaluates the
latest products on the market and invests in best of breed solutions to
improve its business. The KODAK MAGNUS VLF Platesetter, Model 5570,
with the Multi-Cassette Unit (MCU) option recently installed at
Serigraph is one of the fastest, fully automated VLF platesetters on
the market, offering a 300 plate capacity in four cassettes and
automatic slip sheet removal.

"We selected the KODAK VLF Device because of our longstanding
relationship with Kodak and the ability to get an integrated solution
and all related services from a single supplier," noted Rob Dunk, Plant
Manager of Serigraph. "Serigraph serves a very wide variety of
customers and markets, and having the best equipment is a must. KODAK
products have played an important role in our success."
