His father installed printing presses – he dismantles them
Joel Birket, whose company is overseeing the dismantling and transfer of printing press parts from Tennessee to New York, stands near a Goss Colorliner press. When Joel Birket was a child, his family moved to new cities for a year at a time so his father, William, could install printing presses at the major daily newspapers in Seattle and Minneapolis. Dale “Duke” Welsh, director of operations for Ultimate Marketing, a company that specializes in “asset recovery of newspaper press and electronic part,” has in recent months visited six Gannett newspapers, including the Tennessean, to oversee the transfer or sale of printing press parts from one plant to another.
