May 14, 2008: ST. LOUIS, MO – Kopytek, Inc. of Overland has announced a contract agreement with Heidelberg USA (HUSA) in Kennesaw, GA to purchase a high-speed cutting system. The Polar Model 92 XT 36” paper cutter is Heidelberg’s top of the line unit.

According to Kopytek CEO John Peterson, the Heidelberg equipment addition will set new standards in terms of high-quality output, reduction of make-ready and non-production times, minimizing start-up waste and enhancing operations.

“It is a powerful tool for economical, high net output production,” he said. “This new cutting system will provide the automation and precision required for a competitive edge in this industry. Our purchase agreement also includes the Polar RA2 jogger with air removal system. The key is that the Heidelberg is programmable meaning we’ll have the capability of storing customer data for easy recall on repeat job requests.”

In addition, Peterson indicated the XT machine comes fully equipped with the following features:

. Fully automatic knife
. Automatic back gauge, slow
. Gripper margin adjustment, programmable
. Repeat cutting on one measurement
. Strip size correction
. Automatic repetition of part of program
. Cut counter
. Compensation for variations in print
. Programming with cutting
. Variable pre-clamping time
. Program protection
. Step and repeat function electro tact
. Variable ejector distance

Bill Rose, HUSA Sales Representative, expects Kopytek to be installed with the new Heidelberg equipment by second quarter 2008, shortly after the company relocates to its new corporate headquarters at 9595 Dielman Rock Industrial Court in Olivette. The company projects to more than double its operating environment with its new $2.4 million, 20,000 square foot office, production and warehousing facility. In conjunction with the company’s current operations in Overland, Kopytek will also add an additional $2 million in the latest digital imaging technology.

April 16, 2008: ST. LOUIS, MO – Kopytek, Inc. of Overland has announced a contract agreement with Datamax Graphic Systems to purchase a Ryobi high-speed color offset press. The 784 model is a convertible perfector unit making it possible to print both sides of the paper in one printing pass.
According to Kopytek CEO John Peterson, adding the Ryobi equipment to his operation enables the company to be more productive and efficient. “This will equate to better, more competitive pricing for our customers,” he said. “Without the perfector, we would normally have to put the paper through the press twice in order to print on both sides. Reducing our production timeframes will increase our ability to get finished product to our client base.”

In addition, Peterson indicated the machine has automated equipment that is standard, which includes semi-automatic plate loading and electronic image control. “This enhancement greatly speeds up the make-ready time of the machine to about 10 minutes for a four-color job,” Peterson said. “Normal make-ready time on machines without these features can take up to an hour to complete.”

Jeff Arn, Midwest regional sales manager for xpedx, expects Kopytek to be installed with the new Ryobi equipment by second quarter 2008, shortly after the company relocates to its new corporate headquarters at 9595 Dielman Rock Industrial Court in Olivette. The company projects to more than double its operating environment with its new $2.4 million, 20,000 square foot office, production and warehousing facility.

March 14, 2008: ST. LOUIS, MO – Kopytek, Inc. of Overland has announced a contract agreement with Halm, Inc. of Chicago, IL to provide Halm Jet press equipment for commercial envelope print production purposes.

According to Kopytek CEO John Peterson, the St. Louis marketplace has a significant need for a high-quality, quick-turn envelope printer. “Even though we’ve always supplied this service,” he said, “our association with Halm Jet will allow us to produce extremely high quantities in increasingly shorter periods of time. This equipment installation gives us the capability to print 1,000,000 envelopes in 24 hours. Suffice it to say we’re ecstatic to be affiliated with a world leader like Halm.”

Kopytek anticipates its expansion into the wholesale market will expand this already growing market segment. “So much of this business has been forced to leave the St. Louis metro area because clients have been unable to procure product here in a timely fashion,” added Peterson. “We believe our agreement with Halm will have a considerable impact on those businesses needing to purchase locally due to speed and freight considerations.”

Brent McCoy, National Sales Manager for Halm, expects Kopytek to be installed with Halm equipment by second quarter 2008, shortly after the company relocates to its new corporate headquarters at 9595 Dielman Rock Industrial Court in Olivette. The company projects to more than double its operating environment with its new $2.4 million, 20,000 square foot office, production and warehousing facility.

May 21, 2007: ST. LOUIS, MO – In today’s business environment, where so many printing companies are downsizing, being bought by competitors or going out of business, it’s refreshing to see a company like Kopytek, Inc. growing and burgeoning in the St. Louis marketplace.

Kopytek president John Peterson has selected L.A. Schaefer Construction Co., Inc. in Chesterfield to erect the company’s new headquarters to be located at 9595 Dielman Rock Industrial Court in Olivette. “By moving from our current facility at 1455 Page Industrial in Overland,” Peterson said. “we will more than double our operating environment as our new $2.2 million facility will equate to 20,000 square feet of office, production and warehousing space and house an additional $2 million in the latest digital imaging technology.”

Peterson indicated L.A. Schaefer Construction came out on top in the bid process due to the company’s demonstrated ability to support the estimation aspects of the project as well as their expertise in providing a clear perspective on project management. “We are very excited that Kopytek selected us as the General Contractor in support of their expansion efforts,” said Bob Schaefer, president of L.A. Schaefer Construction. “All of us at L.A. Schaefer look forward to partnering with Dial Architects to build Kopytek’s corporate headquarters.”

The new Kopytek facility will be financed with a $4 million tax-exempt bond issued by the Missouri Development Finance Board and coordinated by Southwest Bank of St. Louis. According to Scott Larson, senior vice president of Southwest Bank, the project is an example of a unique tax-free funding process that helps manufacturers invest in the community. “We have extensive experience in financing industrial revenue bonds and partnered with investment banking firm Stern Brothers to deliver this financing option to Kopytek,” he said. “This kind of investment is precisely what the bonds are intended to do – support Missouri manufacturers and the economy.”

Kopytek’s revenues for 2007 are projected at $3.8-$4m. Peterson estimates the company’s growth expectancy in 2008-2009, directly related to increased business space, will be in the range of 20-30 percent with revenue projections to double within the next five years. Ground-breaking on the new Kopytek facility is slated for mid-September with the company’s intent to be operational in Olivette by first quarter 2008.
