Long-Term Partnership & Cost-Saving Innovation with Superior Lithographics

A long-term customer of Superior Lithographics, this company has transitioned through multiple ownership changes—from the founding family to private equity ownership—while maintaining a strong partnership with Superior. Despite internal leadership shifts and ongoing employee turnover, Superior has consistently delivered seamless service, maintaining business continuity and profitability.

Uninterrupted Supply Chain & Cost Optimization

As the sole supplier for the client’s packaging needs, Superior ensured zero service disruptions, even during COVID-19, demonstrating reliability and adaptability in challenging times. In 2023/2024, when the client sought cost-saving opportunities, Superior successfully implemented a substrate substitution, achieving an average of 14% savings for the customer.

Seamless Transition & Supply Chain Excellence

To guarantee a smooth transition, Superior conducted extensive equipment trials and material testing, ensuring the new substrate met all quality and performance standards. A custom supply-chain program was also established in collaboration with vendors, optimizing the use of imported paperboard for long-term savings and efficiency.
