Ironmark, Annapolis Junction, MD: A Decade of M&A Dominance Leads to New Plant, Equipment

The acquisition of the book printer has already set the wheels in motion for new gear in 2015. The newest member of the Ironmark family has three older 40˝ offset presses, and Ostenso is eyeing a pair of continuous-feed inkjet presses to help modernize its production.

Clearly, book manufacturing will play a huge role in 2015's fortunes for Ironmark, as well as the burgeoning growth of wide-format printing. Ostenso sees on-demand digital printing output becoming an even greater piece of the pie as customers gain a greater appreciation of just-in-time production. "We've already converted multiple clients to that mindset and plan to convert more going forward," he says.
