Standard Finishing: Productivity Doesn't End at the Press

For Johan Laurent, automation isn't simply about adding faster equipment to the production floor. It's about building finishing workflows that eliminate manual setup, provide real-time visibility into production, and help print providers move more work through their operations with greater consistency and efficiency.

As Director of Business Operations for Standard Finishing Systems, Johan emphasizes that technology is only part of the equation. Equally important are training, service, and helping customers identify the right solution for their specific applications and production volumes. Whether through automated Horizon finishing equipment, workflow software that identifies bottlenecks, or hands-on operator education, Standard's goal is to help printers become more productive and successful.
