President George W. Bush toured and gave brief remarks at PIA/GATF  member company ColorCraft of Virginia in Sterling, VA, this week. Bush highlighted the effect that the recently passed economic stimulus package would have on ColorCraft and its employees.

PIA supported this act, which allowed for increased expensing and bonus depreciation for small businesses like ColorCraft. Bush said, “ColorCraft is a small, thriving business that will benefit from the stimulus package that the Congress passed earlier this year.”

ColorCraft CEO Jim Mayes, a former PIA/GATF board chairman showed off ColorCraft’s state-of-the-art facility and equipment that was purchased after previous stimulus acts.

Lisbeth Lyons, PIA/GATF vice president, government affairs, also was in attendance. She said, “I’m glad that the President could visit one of our association’s member companies and meet with the people who work in our dynamic industry. The legislation he signed last month will help printers across the country as they seek to modernize and expand their businesses.”

PIA/GATF president and CEO Michael Makin said, “Our industry is honored to have hosted President Bush to highlight the economic contributions of companies like ColorCraft and all PIA/GATF members."
