Foran’s proficiency was well recognized by an Amer- ican startup, which brought him to Charlotte, North Carolina,where nearly half of the printing roll makers in the United States were located.Market demand was high, but Foran was frustrated by the company’s re- luctance to invest in technology.

I could be a better producer if I went into business for myself,” he admitted. Foran did just that in 1984, establishing Anilox Roll Company in Gaffney, South Carolina. The name was shortened toARC after relocating to Charlotte.“We ex- panded our operation to theWest Coast in 1989 and a year later became ARC International after investing in a manufacturing facility back in England,” Foran said. “Realizing that it would be easier to do business from the continent of Europe instead of that island state separated from the rest of the world, we soon moved the international arm to Bladel, Holland.” ARChitects Over the following three decades,ARC International became an industry leader in flexographic solutions, gaining the nickname “The ARChitects of Flexo.”The company grew to become a full-service provider of- fering rollers, supplies, and services for quality-fo- cused customers in corrugated, converting,wide web, narrow web, coating, and laminating. From locations on the East and West Coasts of North America, ARC now serves customers in the United States, Canada, Mike Foran ( left ) and Steve Woodard, VP of Sales & Corporate Services for ARC, have been business associates for 33 years.
