Bean Town Business Builder

An accountant by training, Cobery received a degree from Bentley College in 1972 and proceeded to work in public accounting. His call into the label printing industry came in a roundabout way when his high-tech company outside of Boston was sold in early 1982. As a courtesy to one of its board members, Cobery met with Len Peterson, founder and owner of Label Art, and Bill Flynn, newly hired as CEO. Discussions worked out, and he has been making his mark in the label industry ever since.
