Koenig & Bauer Enables Quality and Continuous Improvement at Superior Litho

Superior Lithographics, a major U.S. player in large-format paperboard packaging, underscores quality as the foundation of its operations — one of six internal core values. “It may seem cliché, but quality is definitely ranked highest to our customers,” says Jared Rounsevell, Director of Operational Excellence. That definition of quality, rooted in Armand Feigenbaum’s customer-centric philosophy, has evolved alongside rising expectations, prompting investments in process control and inspection technologies. 

The company relies on both people and technology to maintain excellence.

Yet, it’s not just about machines. “We continuously work to build quality into the processes…starting from our product specifications and design, all the way through manufacturing and shipping,” adds Rounsevell, crediting team-driven initiatives and lean principles like the Toyota Way. With a hybrid approach of cutting-edge automation and empowered operators, Superior Lithographics continues to raise the bar on sustainable, high-impact packaging.
