Anderson Lithograph--All the Right Moves

"There was a period of adjustment for us, but I think the fact that we're working with people like (Mail-Well executives) Paul Reilly and Jerry Mahoney—who let us explain our business to them—was a pivotal

factor," Fosmire notes. "I have a lot of faith in Paul and Jerry, which I can't say about . . . some guys [who] just storm in, make a decision and that's it. They're not that way. Not that I'm any kind of expert, but I've been at this for 40 years and I've seen Anderson Lithograph grow from a $700,000-a-year company with 19 employees when I joined it to a $150 million-a-year company when we sold it. It's been a real experience and an exhilarating ride."
