As Part of Acquisition, Franklin Dodd Communications Renamed to Southeastern

STUART, Fla. — March 2, 2017 — Southeastern, a print and marketing solutions company based here, announces the official name change of Franklin Dodd Communications — formerly Franklin Dodd Communications, a Southeastern Company — to Southeastern, effective March 1, 2017.

Southeastern acquired Franklin Dodd in June 2016. Franklin Dodd's origins came from the melding of industry leaders Haff Daugherty Graphics, Dodd Communications and Franklin Press which created a virtual melting pot of top notch printing professionals. The advantages of blending the two companies were obvious. The similarities in culture, quality and longevity have combined to become one of South Florida's largest marketing solutions company in the commercial printing arena.

"Acquiring Franklin Dodd was a great opportunity to offer our clients a broader spectrum of full-service graphic communication services. As we are now one, it is time to unite under one brand," says Don Mader, owner and CEO of Southeastern.

With locations in Stuart, Delray Beach, and Miami, Fla., Southeastern is approaching almost 100 years of successful operation. The company is comprised of nearly 200 associates operating in approximately 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Southeastern specializes in a wide array of digital and sheetfed printing, binding and finishing techniques, wide-format printing, branded promotional products, comprehensive mailing services, storage and fulfillment; along with industry-leading supply chain management and inventory technology.
