Once completed, this corporate coupling—which will take on the RR Donnelley name—will create North America's largest printer (surpassing Quebecor World) with more than $8 billion in annual revenues and about 50,000 employees worldwide. According to company officials, the new and improved RR Donnelley will generate cost savings of at least $100 million on an annualized basis in the first 12 to 24 months after the closing. The elimination of duplicative administrative and infrastructure costs, asset rationalization and a reduction in expenses are how they intend to achieve it.
