Nationwide Sells McQuiddy; Facility Closed

The newspaper said that most production workers and all but eight salespeople had been laid off. The catalog, magazine and direct mail production done at McQuiddy will be transferred to Geographics' Atlanta facility.

McQuiddy Printing was started by J.C. McQuiddy in 1903 and remained a family-owned firm for three more generations until it was sold to Master Graphics in 1988. Nationwide assumed management of McQuiddy in 2001 after Master Graphics filed for bankruptcy, The Tennessean reported.
