We are excited to introduce Dan Nibe as the new President and CEO of LBS. With a proven track record in business management and a deep commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, Dan brings a fresh perspective and strategic vision to our company.

Vision for the future

Dan envisions a dynamic future for LBS. In the short term, he will focus on enhancing our core strengths and adapting to market conditions. Looking ahead, growth and diversification are key. While bookbinding remains our core business, identifying additional vertical markets will ensure LBS remains resilient and adaptable.

Over the next year, Dan will implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) across all levels of the business, streamlining operations, enhancing efficiency, and fostering a culture of accountability. Additionally, a comprehensive sales plan will be developed to expand our market share, while optimizing our operations.

Navigating industry trends

The industry is experiencing significant shifts, and LBS is well-positioned to thrive in this evolving landscape. Our commitment to maintaining high-quality products, in-house processing capabilities, and fast turnaround times enables us to meet the demands of lower volume, short lead-time business.

LBS will diversify our product offerings to include various price points, catering to a broader customer base. This strategy will transform LBS into a one-stop source for materials, enhancing our competitive edge.

Enhancing Customer Experience

Under Dan’s leadership, LBS will continue to prioritize the customer experience. Implementing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that measure customer satisfaction will be essential. By regularly monitoring these metrics, we can ensure continuous improvement in our services.

We are also excited to introduce new product solutions at tiered quality and price points, providing our customers with greater flexibility to match their specific needs. This approach will streamline vendor management for our clients while offering them the options they require.

A customer-first focus will remain at the core of our initiatives. By maintaining this core value, we will enhance our day-to-day business operations, ensuring that customer needs are always front and center.

Leadership and Expertise

Dan brings a wealth of experience to LBS. His leadership principles—emphasizing accountability, data-driven decision-making, and fair treatment—align perfectly with our company’s values. Dan was particularly drawn to LBS because of our exceptional company culture, which is a result of being 100% employee-owned. This unique ownership structure fosters a sense of pride and commitment among our team members, driving our collective success.

Having the right team in place is crucial, and Dan understands the importance of trust and execution in achieving our vision. His leadership will guide LBS towards achieving remarkable results, as we work together to build a stronger, more innovative company. With Dan Nibe at the helm, LBS is poised for a future of growth and excellence. We are committed to delivering exceptional value and service to our customers, and we look forward to the exciting journey ahead. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this new chapter together.
