-Personnel Changes |
JAY JELLISON Jay Jellison became Heckman Bindery’s Manager of Sales and Marketing on January 1, 1997. Jay began with Heckman in October, 1996, and has since focused his attention on learning the library binding industry. With an extensive background in the chemical industry, Jay previously served as national sales manager at both Huntington Laboratories and Biokem. A graduate of Indiana University, Jay and his wife Donna have three children. He is eager to meet our customers and serve their needs. We welcome Jay to our team. STEVE SONAFRANK Steve Sonafrank resigned as Library Sales and Service Manager effective December 31, 1996, but he will remain on Heckman’s sales team. His decision was reached following his recent marriage and subsequent move to Indianapolis. Steve will continue to serve our customers as a Heckman Bindery account representative. Steve joined Heckman Bindery in January, 1993. STAN WILLIAMS Stan Williams joined Heckman in 1985 as a route representative in the East. He was promoted to Manager of our Eastern Distribution Center located in Front Royal, VA, in 1987. He was most recently promoted to Heckman Bindery’s Distribution Manager in March, 1996. Effective January 20, 1997, he will oversee Distribution, Customer Service, and other customer related functions within the company. Stan is a graduate of James Madison University, and resides in North Manchester,
Indiana. Without fanfare, Heckman Bindery, Inc. reached 65 years of age in May 1996. Conversely, it was considered momentous when, on November 6, 1996, Heckman held its 25th annual employee recognition banquet. Each fall for 25 years all employees with at least 10 years of continuous service have enjoyed a meal served by management employees followed by a program and presentation of awards. Recent retirees and employees reaching new five year milestones are given special recognition at each banquet. 151 employees with over 10 years continuous service were invited to the 1996 banquet. Together their length of service averaged 19.4 years. Additionally, three employees who retired during the year were honored. Thirty employees received service pins; Nine for 10 years, three for 15 years, eight for 20 years, one for 25 years, four for 30 years, one for 35 years and four for 40 years. Long length of service by employees is one of Heckman Bindery’s greatest
strengths. The experience and stability that results are invaluable. Some libraries are placing labels (bar code, catalog order label, library ID label,
mailing label, etc.) too close to the binding edge of volumes sent for binding. This
creates a buildup that will not allow the text block to be clamped securely in our milling
and adhesive binding machinery. This can damage the text block beyond repair and cause
extensive damage to our equipment. Please help us prevent this damage from happening.
Always place labels at least 3 1/4" away from the binding edge (spine) and attempt to
stagger them to eliminate a bulk build up at any particular place. Also, when placing
labels, please remember to allow enough room on the three outside edges for trimming if
applicable. Please remember that when we pick up your material, the new Heckman Bindery Shipment
Manifest should accompany your shipment. This manifest, along with box labels, will allow
your route representative to identify cargo on board for regulatory concerns that arise
almost daily. |
