J.S. McCarthy Invests (CONT’D FROM PAGE 16)
The Perfect Combo Get Peak Performance From Your Equipment with Matched Component Sets
Jon Tardiff, President at J.S. McCarthy, said they first expanded into the folding carton market around 17 years ago, and it now accounts for between 60 to 70 percent of their business. “Our goal is clear: we aim to not just meet the printing needs of our customers, but exceed expecta- tions in quality and speed, time and again. To do that, we invest in market-leading technology. “We work closely with BOBST, particularly on our VI- SIONFOLD. At the time it was the only one in the world with a scoring shaft – and it may still be. We use it for a lot of our high-volume greeting cards and self-mailers where we are scoring and plow folding in line.” The company is currently operating three Bobst fold- er-gluers, with plans to add a fourth in the future. “Ultimately, we have a reputation for stellar customer service, and that’s something we’ve worked on over many years. We bring a commercial print mindset to the packag- ing world, and with investments in our technology, we can consistently elevate our service level even further,” Tardiff said. “One of the biggest benefits Bobst offers to the busi- ness is productivity.” Tardiff said they saw a huge leap forward in how much they were able to accomplish in the same timeframe when they switched from their previous machines to Bobst. “We’re talking 30-50 percent improvements in a lot of cases. The IT and digital integration are also a big jump forward for us from a productivity standpoint,” he said. The training available on Bobst die cutters and fold- er-gluers was also impressive. “There is a huge amount of market knowledge, and if a machine can run at 9,000 sheets per hour, they will train you to run it at 9,000 sheets per hour,” Tardiff said. “With a constant point of contact and regular site visits, they’re constantly pushing productivity.” Also impressive was the durability of Bobst equipment. “The machines are built to last and perform at a top lev- el, so the lifetime value is fantastic and that’s quality that you can rely on,” Tardiff said. “Our blanker runs for close to four shifts now, and it’s just made to do it.” The productivity advantages became even clear- er during the pandemic. "As COVID-19 brought a labor crunch, we struggled to find people for the hand stripping of blanks,” Tardiff said. “Bobst EXPERTCUT technology al- lowed us to remain productive and profitable with fewer people. For example, we’d need up to 20 people air-chis- eling and removing waste to keep up with our plant. In- stead, we’re doing it with a blanker. “Bobst is built to last and to perform every single day. You get what you pay for and, with BOBST, that’s produc- tivity and throughput. It performs as advertised, and to be honest, I think it does even more than that.” J.S. McCarthy is a 100 percent employee-owned com- pany, where each member of its team has a vested inter- est in customer success because it directly relates to their success as business owners.
