History

Bob Weber, Inc. (BWI) is a leading supplier of refurbished digital prepress equipment. We are currently celebrating our 27th year of serving the graphics industry. During these 27 years, BWI has evolved from a one person “broker” operation to a diverse sales and marketing operation with 18 employees.

We have grown from originally brokering typesetters into an organization that purchases used prepress equipment, refurbishes it to manufacturers’ specs, and then remarkets it to dealers and customers worldwide. The type of equipment we sell has evolved, from exclusively film-based systems to a mix of computer-to-film and computer-to-plate. We have also expanded our sales to include new items like software Workflow RIPs, new film and plate processors, densitometers, Imposition software, and parts for all generations of equipment. We have a diverse group of customers and dealers worldwide, with the majority of equipment shipping outside the United States.

Our one room office in 1982 has grown to a 30,000 square foot facility today. BWI maintains an inventory of prepress equipment with a cost in the range of $1.5 million dollars, all warehoused on-site. All equipment listed on our web site is owned by BWI, and will be refurbished by our in-house technicians and finishing department.

Over the years, our sales and technical staff has been expanded to meet the needs of our customers. Our sales staff speaks Spanish, Russian, and Polish fluently. We have grown from one technician, who is still with the company today, to 6 technicians who refurbish equipment and provide customer support, along with 5 production support/warehouse personnel.

We have expanded our parts department exponentially over the last several years, and have parts available for imagesetters, platesetters, processors, scanners, and other equipment. Additionally, we have the ability to source parts we may not have on our shelves from a wide variety of vendors. We also offer new parts for older equipment such as lasers, power supplies and vacuum pumps at reduced rates from the manufacturers.

Bob Weber Inc. has become a resource for all your digital prepress equipment needs.
