Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, the most efficient and profitable printing companies used automation technologies, such as RBA, to lower labor costs, increase customer satisfaction, and improve profitability. For example, William Schuring, COO, Wilco (Netherlands) noted, "Operating under one PRINERGY system for three sites has improved our efficiency by half.” And Tonya Spiers, President, Knight Abby (USA) said, “(PRINERGY) is saving us around $80,000 to $100,000 per year.”

Pat McGrew summed it up this way: “PRINERGY + RBA = a crisis-proof production workflow.”
