K/P Corp.--Achieving Purpose And Profit

K/P, which still considers itself a regional printing, mailing and fulfillment operation, now serves many major, national customers through its 12 facilities in five states—Oregon, Washington, Utah, California and Georgia. In 1997, the company turned its back on the consolidation craze when owner Jim Knapp transferred control to 650 new owners—his own employees—and offered stock for sale. As the page turns to a new millennium, K/P is enjoying robust sales of $95 million (for 1999) and shows no signs of slowing. In fact, the company still appears to be garnering steam, with long-term plans for national expansion.
