Best Graphics have been importing, distributing, and supporting Osako’s line of Japanese, automated Saddle Stitchers for over three decades. Founded in the early 1900s, Osako was our first partner that sought out an exclusive importer, ultimately transitioning Best Graphics from a regional distributorship of CTP, Offset Press and Bindery equipment to a nationwide sales and service organization. Forging relations of over three generations of ownership, Best Graphics and Osako are truly “one” family. Click here to view Osako’s Partners Page for more information!
