Nationwide Acquires PAA Companies

Recently, Houston-based Consolidated Graphics acquired Baltimore-based S&S Graphics, while Printing Arts Chicago was reacquired by William J. Chmura—its previous owner—and John Ropski.

The other PAA companies—Bay State Press, Framingham, MA; George Lithograph, Brisbane, CA; and Oaks Printing, Bethlehem, PA—have been closed and liquidated. Printing Arts Dallas, Euless, TX; and Printing Arts Mexico in Guadalajara, Mexico, were previously reacquired by their original owners.
