Predictions of Industry Mergers --DeWese

I predict that Moore will acquire Consolidated Graphics within the next 36 months. I also predict Quebecor will counter and acquire Mail-Well by year-end 2006. The Mail-Well deal will feature a bidding battle with the two Canadian giants, Quebecor and GTC Transcontinental, going head to head. Standard Register will acquire Banta and R.R. Donnelley will acquire Bowne. Somewhere in here, Deluxe Check will get into the fray and acquire some big player in a major diversification, and somebody will buy Cadmus.
