Green Go-Getters

For Southeastern, the next phase of green operations may very likely pertain to growth. "We look for big things to happen over the next several years," observes Mackert. "Basically, we'll continue to focus on our core competencies in roll-fed labels, ROSO [roll-on, shrink-on], in-mold, and film cut and stack." Mackert expects business-building opportunities to spring from the company's installation of new rotary diecutting equipment to enhance its decorating technologies offering, as well as its "due diligence regarding 7-color extended gamut printing" and the newer wide-web printing capabilities for roll-fed labels. On several levels, Southeastern has seen the future of sustainability—one in which it is poised to continue leading label printers' commitment to environmental stewardship. pP
