2006 PRINTING INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME — KEEPER OF THE FLAME

Company Culture

Quadracci credits his brother Harry’s people-handling skills and philosophy for the company’s reputation as a worker’s paradise—a style borrowed from the Japanese business culture. Despite his ahead-of-the-curve management style, Harry may have been a riverboat gambler at heart, “going too far, too fast and being too aggressive, perhaps to the point of betting the farm,” Quadracci says. But Quad/Graphics’ business plan, and the philosophy of the elder Quadracci, kept the company on track.
