Settling into customers' space

Design and prepress giant Schawk, Inc., with a legion of 35 studios and production facilities, has made facilities management for CPCs and printers an integral part of their business. John Olson, operations manager of Schawkgraphics in Des Plaines, IL, explains: "Working with Fortune 500 companies, we found it was very important for us to build strong alliances with the printers. We began [the FM undertaking] by selecting a printer who worked directly with a number of our CPC customers. We went into their facility and conducted a complete needs analysis to see what we could do to help bring them into the digital world."
