Donnelley Busy on Contract Front

CHICAGO—One of the many keys to RR Donnelley's success is its ability to lock up major clients to long-term contracts.

The largest U.S. printer recently tied down a trio of pivotal customers with multi-year accords. Leading the way value-wise: an extension of the agreement to produce all of R.H. Donnelley's current telephone directories. R.H. Donnelley publishes directories under the Sprint Yellow Pages and SBC Yellow Pages brands.
