Graphic Arts Center -- The Quality Quotient

It was Mail-Well's first commercial print acquisition. "They were looking to expand beyond their envelope operations, and we were owned by an investment firm at the time. The timing was right for both companies," explains Lynn McAndrew, vice president of operations.

The Right Direction

The acquisition by Mail-Well also proved to be a technological renaissance for Graphic Arts Center. "They have been a big supporter of upgrading technology," adds McAndrew. "Since our purchase by Mail-Well, we've completely overhauled our prepress department, added new sheetfed and web printing equipment, and upgraded our bindery. Without Mail-Well, it would have been much more of a challenge to get the capital we needed for the upgrades."
