P+P: What do you think is the most exciting, cutting-edge thing your company is doing right now? Why?
DJK: We are going strong in our third generation with four other active full-time family members [in addition to] myself: Jeff Kay, Joe Kay, Bobby Kay and Ryan Kay. We have all been given this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove to our fathers and uncles that we can manage our family business. Our third-generation [employees] all have the desire, self-discipline, positive attitude and capability of succeeding in proving we are the best fit to keep our business running. Our tag manufacturing plants have been going strong in the digital/variable imaging and short run tag programs we offer. We are very excited for a few new items we are presently working on and look forward to the completion of these products soon. We have updated and improved many presses and products this year in an effort to become more competitive in the printing industry.
