The Business Brokerage Press (BBP) has named Rock LaManna of The LaManna Alliance as its first ever Lifetime Industry Expert. The honor salutes LaManna’s expertise in the industries of label printing (flexographic, digital, screen printing), print shops/commercial printers, sign companies, and decorated apparel - embroidery.

LaManna is the author of L&NW's popular column, The Bottom Line, where he helps printing owners and CEOs use their company financials to prioritize and choose the proper strategic path.

“The Business Brokerage Press is all about bringing you a professional advantage,” says Ron West, president of the Business Brokerage Press. “Rock LaManna’s diverse background and professional experiences enrich our community in countless ways.”

The Industry Expert designation was originally created with the understanding that some of the most useful information about buying and selling businesses comes from business brokers and from those who have extensive knowledge about specific industries. West says the BBP is constantly seeking out these industry experts and relies on its information to keep people up to date on the latest developments in their areas of expertise.

“I’m honored by the Lifetime Industry Expert designation,” says LaManna. “I continue to spend time in the marketplace and am proud to share my expertise with clients, business brokers and professional advisors. For me, the biggest compliment is the smile of relief I see when business owners achieve a win-win transaction.”
