YEAR IN REVIEW — 2006: BANTA ON THE LOOSE

Quebecor World of Montreal reorganized its U.S. book and magazine platform in April, closing two facilities and letting go more than 800 employees. The printer also named former Sun Chemical executive Wes Lucas as its new president and CEO, replacing Pierre Karl Peladeau.

Speaking of leadership changes, the torch was passed at Sussex, WI-based Quad/Graphics, where Joel Quadracci assumed the CEO position in place of his retiring uncle, Tom Quadracci. The elder Quadracci retired on his 35th anniversary with the company, founded by his brother, Harry V. Quadracci.
