Banta Acquires Southeastern Color Graphics

While Banta focuses on longer-run print products using high-production web presses, Southeastern is a sheetfed printer specializing in shorter runs of non-standard-sized products.

Southeastern will become part of the Banta Book Group, which has a book manufacturing operation in Harrisonburg, VA.

According to Book Group President Ronald J. Musil, the Harrisonburg plant gives Southeastern an internal capability for high-volume, one-color book products, an area in which they did not compete in the past, while Southeastern gives Banta internal print production capabilities for many of the specialized products contained in classroom resource kits, such as sheetfed print products, transparencies and card sets.
