’Tis the Season for Serious Dealmaking —Michelson

Soon, the Perry Judd’s name, dating back 75 years to the former Perry Printing and Judd’s companies, will be history. The same can be said for the more than century-old Von Hoffmann moniker and the 22-year run for Cadmus. Forthcoming will likely be announcements of various plant closures, headcount reductions and equipment reallocations as Cenveo and RR Donnelley begin to integrate their new holdings into their existing platforms. Both behemoths will strive to drive cost savings by removing corporate overhead redundancies and brokering better pricing from suppliers due to economies of scale. Emphasis will also be placed on creating new revenue streams through cross-selling to their now-expanded customer bases.
