Craig Bachtell has been with Knight E/A, Inc. over 25 years. Founded as Lester B. Knight, the full service architectural and engineering firm is client-focused with a core business in transportation and public infrastructure. A company of 36 people in 1999, they have expanded to more than 130 staff members and are increasingly involved with multi-faceted infrastructure projects. Engineers grow with the company, share input and collaborate on client assignments. The firm recently expanded into an office at 221 N. LaSalle Street, one of four locations.
The year was 1989 and Bachtell, a Documentation Engineer, needed a printer. Competition was fierce (still is), with decisions literally boiling down to pennies. A well-timed visit from Director of Business Development, Carl Hansen, made the right impact. Bachtell sensed the service provider was seeking a lasting business relationship, not just printing jobs. Running a print room to rush orders, Cushing has been Knight E/A Inc.’s “go- to” printer ever since.
“Pricing and relationships. Cushing is a vendor who understands the value of relationships.”

Another project stands out: a high speed rail presentation requiring planning, plotting and printing. With deadlines looming, the Cushing customer service representative listened, paying careful attention to the potential document updates; a dizzying array of text, pictures, art and aerials. An alternative was hatched – forgive us – EGG prints (Engineering Grade Graphics) – also known as technical color printing or CAD color and printing directly to gator foam boards.
It not only saved time, it made perfect sense.
As Knight E/A, Inc. grows and evolves, the Cushing team is ready to assist. Bachtell notes:
Cushing really is an extension of our staff.
“Cushing let’s Knight E/A, Inc. focus on being engineers instead of the printing. Keep up the great work! Knight E/A Inc. has used EGG prints for quick turn, last minute project needs. ”
