| The US Army Publications and Training Aid Center, Europe located at Hoechst, Germany, is responsible for supplying printing publications and training aids for Army units from Greenland to Pakistan. CO of the Publications Center is Lt Col L. W. Teter. The plant employs a staff of American military personnel as well as local national civilians and is equipped with 19 offset and 11 letter presses, 7 teletype machines and additional support equipment. The installation comprises a printing branch, publications branch and the Training Aid Center. The plant handled about 650,000 orders in 1957, that included printing Cetificates of Achievements, travel voucher forms, Army pamphlets, posters, Army regulations and circulars, and creating training aid films. The plant uses about 118 tons of paper a month. 300 tons of publications and forms are handled monthly (a lot of it coming from priniting plants in the States) and about 4500 training aids are fabricated monthly. The printing plant was established at Hoechst in 1946. At the time there were other German printing plants that were also used to meet the Army's needs in Germany. The present consolidated plant was established in 1948. The Center will be moved to Roedelheim (next to the autobahn) to a new factory that is scheduled to be completed in Sept 1959. |
