Why buy Horizon equipment from Mid-State Litho
Horizon International designs and manufactures this machine in Japan. Standard Finishing Systems (SDMC) is the exclusive North American distributor. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan and Great Lakes dealer: we quote the configuration, install it, train your operators, finance it when needed, stock related parts and adhesives, and send factory-trained technicians when something stops a shift.
We work with Horizon and Standard Finishing as long-term allies. We still want the plant manager who searches for a Horizon dealer to land on Mid-State Litho: same-state trucks, multi-brand advice when Horizon is not the only answer, and a phone that reaches people who have installed the line.
