Northeast Ohio Craftsmen Club Graphic Arts Man of the Year Award
Andrew Kuntz, owner of both HPC Integrated Graphic Solutions of Akron, and Wooster Printing & Litho, was awarded the 2008 Graphic Arts Man of the Year Award.

This award given by the Northeast Ohio Craftsmen Club is the club’s highest award given to an individual. To achieve this award the individual is chosen based on company leadership, physical plant growth and improvements.

Andrew began working in the printing industry in 1963, moving to Wooster in 1975 to work at Wooster Printing. Together with the 20 craftsmen at Wooster Printing the company grew from letterpress and 2/Color presses to 2/Color up to 40-inch 6/Color presses, with full bindery and fulfillment services.

The company expanded its market with the purchase of the 65-employee Hiney Printing Company in 2003 changing the name to HPC Integrated Graphic Solutions. This change reflects the broad range of services from design to full-size heat-set web offset.

Kuntz, a Rotarian is involved in the Village Network as well as other organizations in the Wooster community. He believes in continuously coaching and educating his fellow craftsmen in the printing industry. Recognizing his many blessings, he thanks his wife Claudia for her support.

Andrew and Claudia live in Wooster and have two daughters. Heather is involved in Wooster Printing and Molly lives in Lewis Center, Ohio.
