Q&A Tom Quadracci -- Rising to Challenges

PI: How was the year 2002 for Quad/Graphics from a business standpoint?

Quadracci: Despite an industry-wide decline in advertising and print-run counts brought about by economic uncertainty, we have taken strategic measures over the last year to reduce unnecessary costs and streamline operations. As a result, we’ve been able to deflect much of the negative impact of the economy, maintaining our reputation for quality and service while remaining financially viable. In fact, in 2002, we will post our best earnings year ever, despite flat sales.
