Hall of Fame--Tevis Paves His Own Path to Success

Kohlberg & Co. soon came after Tevis to help form the highly leveraged Printing Arts America. Over the first 18 months of its existence, consolidation-centric PAA hauled down revenues in excess of $200 million, courtesy of the acquisition of 11 companies. He helped consolidate a disparate group of small business printers into a national network of companies, while focusing on driving cost out of the platform. National selling efforts produced new contracts for multiple PAA locations and brought new techniques to increase sales in each division's local market.
