Al Bowers Inducted Into Hall of Fame

50th Inductee Has a Passion for Packaging

Alfred K. Bowers, customer solutions manager in the Premedia Technologies Division of RR Donnelly, Menasha, WI; has been inducted into the Flexographic Technical Association’s Hall of Fame. The honor came in front of a capacity crowd, on hand for the gala awards banquet, staged in conjunction with FTA’s 54th Annual Forum and 30th Anniversary Edition of the INFO*FLEX Exhibition.

Bowers is the 50th individual to be welcomed into the prestigious society, comprised of flexography’s movers and shakers who have helped to sculpt the modern day packaging, printing and converting industry.

A printer-turned-prepress-expert, Bowers also dabbles in design and has long been an advocate for the consumer product company. As a champion of standards, he is a forbearer of FIRST (Flexographic Image Reproduction Specifications and Tolerances) and staunch proponent of printing to the numbers. Some know him as flexography’s Walmart connection and describe Bentonville, AR, as his near second home.
