Standard Register: Where Innovation Has Led to a Century of Success

The new facility augments Standard Register's existing digital platform. "This Center of Excellence gives us the opportunity to respond to changes taking place in the printing industry from the standpoints of cost, efficiency and capabilities," he points out.

Standard Register has been quite active in bolstering its overall platform. Late last summer, it acquired another venerable business—fellow Dayton, OH, cornerstone WorkflowOne, in a deal worth $218 million. WorkflowOne supplies printing, document management, distribution and marketing services. The added depth offered by the acquisition, which catapulted Standard Register's employee head count to 3,600, is augmented by new opportunities in the retail and promotional products spaces.
