Jim Priebe · Executive VP · Lithotone · Open Mic · PRINTING United 2025

At Printing United in Orlando, Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH speaks with Jim Priebe from Lithone on the first day of the show. Although it’s still early, Priebe explains that his team is already exploring new technologies and looking for potential investments. He describes Printing United as the most important event for discovering not only what to buy now but also what to plan for in the future.

Priebe shares that Lithone has recently begun implementing a digital storefront, marking a significant step toward greater automation and online integration. The company is in the process of setting it up and sees it as an essential part of its long-term digital strategy. In addition to software, Lithone is also evaluating new hardware solutions. Having recently added a few printers to their fleet, they are now considering further expansion and exploring digital routers to complement their production capabilities.

Staying for the full duration of the show, Priebe plans to walk the floor, gather insights, and identify the right technologies to strengthen Lithone’s operations. The conversation reflects the company’s proactive approach to modernization, combining investments in both digital infrastructure and advanced production equipment to remain competitive in an evolving print landscape.
