Mergers and Acquisitions — Deals That Make Sense

RR Donnelley annexes Von Hoffmann for $412.5 million.

EarthColor bags L.P. Thebault.

Synergy Graphics obtains Sunny Industries.

Consolidated Graphics (CGX) lassos Pikes Peak and Cyril Scott.

American Color Graphics is still in play but needs a savior, and one has to wonder if Vertis Communications will be able to close the deal in the end. CGX did see one get away, as Hopkins Printing ultimately went the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) route.
