Three industry veterans join PressAccess

Press release from the issuing company

Cumming, Ga. - Clyde Tillman, President of PressAccess, a leading supplier of pre-owned printing equipment, has announced that three experienced industry experts-Walter Langley, Mike Morgan, and Tom Wilson-have joined the company to assist with sales of not only PressAccess' used printing equipment, but also the entire line of new die-cutting machinery from the Brausse Group, paper and blanket wash recycling systems, as well as service and maintenance contracts. "We feel extremely fortunate to be able to add these three industry veterans to our staff," said Tillman. "The wealth of industry knowledge and experience they bring will not only enhance our ability to serve our customers, but will enable us to expand our services further into areas of industry growth."

Walter Langley, who has been named PressAccess' Bindery Manager and Brausse Specialist, is a 44-year veteran of the industry with special expertise in cutters, folders, stitchers, perfect binders, die-cutters and folder gluers, as well as bindery costing and estimating. He comes to PressAccess from Heidelberg, where he spent 28 years, and previously worked for Sheridan-winning accolades as Salesman of the Year-and Baumfolder.

"PressAccess' partnership with Brausse and Walter's expertise will help us immeasurably in growing our offerings in die-cutting and other finishing capabilities, particularly for the growing packaging segment, positioning us for even greater success in this sector of the industry," said Tillman.

Mike Morgan and Tom Wilson have joined PressAccess as sales representatives for the Southwest and Southeast areas, respectively, and will lend their talents to extending the company's reach and customer services in those key regions.

Morgan, whose 44 years in the graphic arts industry includes 14 in production and plant management, and 30 years as a Heidelberg account manager, has had extensive training in both technical applications and business management and won multiple awards as Regional Salesman of the Year. Wilson, a 30-year industry veteran, previously served as a sales representative and account manager with Heidelberg, where he garnered two National Salesman of the Year awards.

"Mike and Tom are incredibly skilled and experienced in servicing these regions, and have a long track record of exceeding customer expectations in our industry," said Tillman. "Everyone at the AccessGroup is looking forward to having them on board. They will be a valuable resource for the company."

"PressAccess is already the company of choice for many of our customers when it comes to acquiring late-model Heidelberg presses and finishing equipment," he continued. "Adding these three highly trained Heidelberg veterans to our staff will augment our capabilities and offer even greater support to our current clients and those new to the pre-owned equipment market."
