Recently you may have seen the following statement on the Central Plains Book Manufacturing website:
"We are pleased to announce Central Plains Book has joined Sun Graphics, LLC based in Parsons, Kansas. Sun Graphics has a 50 year tradition which started in color separation and evolved into a cutting edge commercial printer with broad capabilities."
"We evaluated numerous opportunities and selected Sun Graphics for a variety of reasons, none more important than their commitment to quality and service, which is a core value we share."
Now the truth:
1. Central Plains Book Manufacturing went bankrupt.
2. They couldn't make their loan payments to the bank.
3. They owed the IRS $300,000 in back taxes.
4. They were sending out defective product.
5. All of their equipment was sold at public auction.
They did not "evaluate numerous opportunities." They were looked at by several companies who might have bought the company in bankruptcy. None did. Sun Graphic bought a portion of their equipment AT PUBLIC AUCTION.
Having someone buy your equipment at public auction after your company is in bankruptcy is a world of difference from "evaluating opportunities" and "joining" Sun Graphics like it is some type of partnership or business merger.
Maybe "CEO" Gunter Hansen isn't clear on the difference. Then again, he wasn't too clear on the difference between defective and non-defective books, either.
In short, these are misleading and deceptive statements by Central Plains Book Manufacturing.
