A New Player Enters the Consolidation Competition

"This merger gives both organizations the critical mass and service breadth to grow more quickly as we leverage our mutual customer relationships," adds Bruce Schulz, president of Watt/Peterson-Cimarron.

The Minnesota facilities of both Watt/Peterson and Cimarron are located here, in Brainerd and in Marshall; both firms are privately held. The combined entity employs 251. Watt/Peterson was founded in 1963. Cimarron Printing was formed in 1998 through the acquisitions of Gesme Printing in Marshall and Universal Printing in Brainerd and in Shakopee, MN.
