Pitney Bowes, Orion Create Print Management Firm

STAMFORD, CT—Orion Holdings, a unit of Interpublic Group (IPG), and Pitney Bowes have launched a strategic partnership enabling Orion to create a new unit, Orion Printing. This unit will focus on supplying print management solutions to IPG companies globally with a mission of leveraging the holding company’s worldwide print spend to create savings and increased value for clients.

Through Orion Printing, IPG companies will gain access to a fully managed print service, a global network of print solutions, project management and technologies to deliver enhanced service and quality with cost effectiveness to clients. The business unit will be run by veteran IPG operations executive Robert Hoad, who will serve as global managing director, reporting to Orion Holdings President and CEO Brian McMahon.

“The strategic partnership with Pitney Bowes allows Orion Printing to deliver a unique value proposition for our sister agencies across IPG,” McMahon said. “We believe this is yet another innovative way Orion Holdings can deliver strategic value for our IPG partners. Clients spend a significant amount of money on printed marketing materials and we know Orion Printing can drive significant savings for them. We’re also exceptionally lucky that an executive with Robert’s depth of experience will be leading this effort.”
