Top Honors Given to Graphic Finishing Suppliers

Wednesday 17. June 2009 - The Binding Industries Association (BIA), the world's largest association for trade binderies, graphic finishers, custom loose-leaf manufacturers, and suppliers to those industries, announced the winners of the 2009 Feingold Awards.

The Feingold Awards began in 1992 as a tribute to Bill Feingold of Charles Leonard Inc., to honor products and processes that break new ground in the graphic finishing and custom loose-leaf manufacturing industries. These prestigious awards are considered to be the highest designation a supplier can receive from the graphic finishing community.

Technology being recognized includes the C.P. Bourg BSF Sheet Feeder, Gateway Bookbinding Systems Ltd. TCB Total Cut & Bend, The Newark Group NewEx Graphicboard, Finishing Experts Group, Inc, FOLDRite, and Unibind XU 138. All of these ground breaking companies will be awarded with honorable mentions for their achievements.

“It’s crucial to recognize quality and outstanding achievements from the supplier community,” said Kris Bovay, general manager and vice chair of BIA, Pacific Bindery Services Ltd. “Suppliers bring life to projects, help with tough challenges, and advance the industry in which we work.”

Top technology will be highlighted on the BIA website and in the publication The Binding Edge magazine.
