Hall of Fame--Frick Builds Empires Via M&A, Operations

A part of the reason Frick has remained in commercial printing for more than 30 years is the industry's ability to change, evolve and reinvent itself, yet in many ways retain a grass-roots, old-school image.

Unique Industry
"I find this industry unendingly exciting," he says. "It's large, diverse, fragmented, always evolving and ever changing. It's more than just a business—the printing industry is an art, a craft, a science and a technology. Much of our $160 billion industry remains custom, specialty, job shop, non-contract, highly transactional, very relational, fragile and even perishable. Ours is a genuinely unique industry because of these dynamics."
