Lake County Press -- Armed to Compete

Lake County Press (LCP) has thrived under less-than-ideal economic conditions, pinched even further by stiff competition from other printers aggressively bidding on the same jobs. LCP garnered $37.6 million in sales for its 2002 fiscal year, with 90 percent of its take coming from the Windy City market. Just under 200 employees comprise its work force within two manufacturing facilities: its main building and an adjacent small-format press and Xerox DocuTech (SPD) division. A 20,000-square-foot fulfillment facility was also acquired recently, with negotiations ongoing for the addition of more space.
