Nebraska Printer Jacob North Seeks Buyer

LINCOLN, NE—Equity Partners CRB LLC has been retained through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to seek a buyer for Jacob North Printing. Based here, Jacob North Printing is a 125-year-old, full-service regional printing and graphics communications company that offers web, sheetfed, digital and label printing, as well as fulfillment, mailing and inventory management services. It also provides e-mail marketing, personalized Websites and SMS marketing.

Jacob North Printing operates out of a 62,000-square-foot, leased facility at the Lincoln AirPark West. Equipment includes a six-color, 40˝ Heidelberg sheetfed press with inline aqueous coating; half- and full-web presses suitable for longer runs; and digital equipment for shorter runs. The company also has extensive bindery services, a flexographic label press, and laminating and UV coating capabilities.

Jacob North offers a wide range of product lines, but the majority of the company’s business is as a general commercial printer. It produces short-run magazine work, direct mail and annual reports, among other offerings. The digital department runs variable data jobs, as well as short-run color jobs.

“With Jacob North’s ability to handle jobs from disk to distribution, full in-house mailing capabilities, full-web and sheetfed printing and complete individualized content offerings, we are truly a one-stop shop for all print and cross-media communication distribution, large or small, static or individualized," said Charlie Calhoun, president and CEO of Jacob North.

Equity Partners, based in Easton, MD, has reportedly completed more than 400 engagements throughout the United States since 1988.
