Lincolnwood, Illinois – London Litho announces the formation of The Opus Group, a global consulting division qualified to provide expertise to the graphic arts, communications, and printing industries. The newly formed division will begin operations January 1, 2001. London Litho President Eric London sees The Opus Group as a natural progression for his company. "As a separate entity, The Opus Group will have the ability to extend our reach and offer unique consulting services beyond traditional boundaries," says London. The group’s initial members include the color management specialists, pressroom consultants, and electronic engineers who developed London Litho’s exclusive Synclinal MAPP™ technology and have been implementing the process at customer sites since 1995.
